Slovenia Elevation Model
Introduction
The Slovenian elevation model is a digital terrain model (DTM) produced from LIDAR data sourced from the Agencija RS za okolje - the Slovenian Environment Agency and the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning. The derived elevation model delivered with windPRO is at 5m resolution. Coverage is the whole of the Republic of Slovenia.
The original Slovenian DTM model is at 1m resolution, however, the windPRO version is resampled by EMD to obtain a slightly coarser resolution (5 m) in order for the data to be operational for the larger areas needed in the context of wind farm analysis’.
In the dataset-documentation - vertical accuracy in the 1m resolution dataset is stated to be 0.07-0.11m (RMS). This was based on a sample with about 60 ground control points.
Availability from within WindPRO
The data are available directly from within windPRO in 5-meter grid resolution. The data can be accessed from the online-services in the following objects:
- Line Object (with purpose to height contour lines)
- Elevation Grid Object
Reference System
The following reference system were used in the original data:
- EPSG: 3794 (D96TM)
