Digital Terrain Model of Greenland 1:500.000

The digital terrain model of Greenland is constructed on the basis of GEUS's topographic data set from the official geological maps of Greenland in scale ratios 1:100 000 and 1:500 000. The data base is primarily supported by contour lines, coastlines and support points. The terrain model is assembled as a mosaic in sub-areas based on the map sheet frames from the geological map of Greenland in 1:500 000. The terrain model is made in the coordinate system WGS 1984 Complex UTM Zone 24N with the dimensions in a 100 x 100 m grid. Based on the digital terrain model, a shadow map of the terrain has been constructed.
