NASA's data for digital elevation models (DEM) comes from airborne and space-based sources and are useful for analyzing a majority of Earth's terrain.
NASADEM is a significant improvement over the available three-arcsecond SRTM DEM primarily because it will provide a global DEM and associated products at one-arcsecond spacing.
High-resolution Digital Elevation Models (DEM) for non-polar regions at two-meter spatial resolution are now available through NASA’s Commercial SmallSat Data Acquisition (CSDA) program.
The Terra Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) Global Digital Elevation Model (GDEM) Version 3 (ASTGTM) provides a global digital elevation model (DEM) of land areas on Earth at a spatial resolution of 1 arc second (approximately 30 meter horizontal posting at the equator). The development of the ASTER GDEM data products is a collaborative effort between ...
The first ASTER GDEM was released in 2009, with Version 2 being released in 2011. The ASTER GDEM Version 3 maintains the GeoTIFF format and the same gridding and tile structure as in previous versions, with 30-meter spatial resolution and 1°x1° tiles. Version 3 also features a new global product: the ASTER Water Body Dataset (ASTWBD
