Brief description
Digital Elevation Model data record the terrain height variations from the processed point-located data recorded on an airborne geophysical survey. The aircraft altimeter data records the height of the aircraft above the ground and the aircraft GPS records the height of the aircraft above the ellipsoid. Subtracting the two values enables the height of the terrain beneath the aircraft relative to the ellipsoid to be calculated. This ellipsoidal terrain height is corrected for the variation between the ellipsoid and the geoid (the n-value correction) to produce terrain heights relative to sea level.Lineage

Statement: The DEM data of Australia contains elevation data recorded during several airborne geophysical surveys by Commonwealth, State and Northern Territory Governments, and the private sector. Additional data from open source are also added to the collection.
