S. or its territories, 90% accuracy required Aftermath of Hurricane Michael in Mexico Beach, FL. AP Photo/Gerald Herbert

Auto-Generated Elevation Data - Polar Geospatial Centerpublic-private initiative to produce a high-resolution, high Arctic. DEM - NGA-NSF quality, digital surface model (DSM) of the Arctic using optical stereo imagery, highperformance computing, and open source photogrammetry software. The entire Arctic. DEM domain was mosaicked to 2 -meter resolution and covers just over 10% of the planet. REMA - Constructed from hundreds of thousands of individual stereoscopic Digital Elevation Models (DEM) extracted from pairs of submeter resolution commercial satellite imagery licensed by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. The Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) provides the first high resolution (8 -meter) terrain map of nearly the entire continent. Earth. DEM— Currently in production. The success of both Arctic. DEM and REMA started an initiative to complete the remaining portion of the globe at 2 -meter.
