CopDEM TIFF (10 m)
The Copernicus DEM and related land surface datasets provide high-quality geographic information derived from satellite observations. The EEA-10 dataset covers 39 European countries, including all associated islands as well as the French Overseas Departments (excluding French Overseas Territories). It provides a spatial resolution of 10 metres and covers a total surface area of approximately 6 million km². This dataset is suitable for regional-scale analysis, environmental assessment, land monit

Useful for
- Use cases llm-inferred
- Regional terrain inputs for flood or drainage screening across European study areas · Slope and catchment context for FRA desk studies where no local LiDAR DEM exists · Land-surface context for geotechnical or civils desk studies at regional scale
- Audience llm-inferred
- GIS analysts · hydrologists · drainage engineers · flood consultants · geotechnical engineers
Limitations
- Constraints llm-inferred
- DOCS do not list the 39 countries, so UK coverage is not confirmed. · Collection ID says 'laea' but summaries list EPSG:4326; verify the CRS before use. · DOCS give no accuracy or vertical-reference figures, and do not say whether the surface is DSM or DTM. · Data is SAR-derived according to the summaries. · CREODIAS S3 is requester-pays; the CDSE S3 endpoint is not. · Access requires CDSE credentials.
