Description:
Abstract:
Series of Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) of the National Capital Region: 2003 (10cm), 2001 (25cm), 1998 (50cm), 1997 (25cm), 1995 (25cm), 1994 (25cm). DEMs consists of a sampled array of elevations for a number of ground positions at regularly spaced intervals.
Purpose:
DEMs can be used as source data for digital orthophotos, and as layers in geographic information systems, for earth science analysis.  DEMs can also serve as tools for volumetric analysis and for drainage basin delineation.
