The dataset is a 10m high resolution raster layer containing height information generated for selected cities and urban areas in the EEA38 member countries and United Kingdom as part of the Urban atlas suite of products. Height information is based on satellite data and derived datasets like the digital surface model (DSM), the digital terrain model (DTM) and the normalized DSM. The satellite data sources are IRS-P5 stereo images for the capital cities and VHR false stereo pairs extracted from the MAXAR catalogue (WV-01, WV-02, GE-01 and IK) for the remaining areas supplemented by LiDAR data as additional option.

Where the Copernicus Land Monitoring Service products and services have been adapted or modified by the user, the user shall clearly state this. 3. Users shall make sure not to convey the impression to the public that the user's activities are officially endorsed by the European Union. 55854f4a-19b7-49f3-abd3-4f974a683d6f grid 10 utf8 environment imageryBaseMapsEarthCover elevation 2012-01-01 2014-12-31 -25.85 43.20 35.30 70.31 Spatial Resolution information: The Minimum Mapping Width is 10 m GeoTIFF 1.1 https://land.copernicus.eu/en/products/urban-atlas/building-height-2012#download WWW:DOWNLOAD CLMS Website Download (requires authentication) https://copernicus.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/services/UrbanAtlas/UA_BuildingHeights_2012_10m/ImageServer/WMSServer?request=GetCapabilities&service=WMS OGC:WMS 0 UA_BuildingHeights_2012_10m https://copernicus.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services/UrbanAtlas/UA_BuildingHeights_2012_10m/ImageServer ESRI:REST https://copernicus.discomap.eea.europa.eu/arcgis/rest/services/UrbanAtlas/UA_BuildingHeights_2012_10m/ImageServer https://doi.org/10.2909/42690e05-edf4-43fc-8020-33e130f62023 DOI https://doi.org/10.2909/42690e05-edf4-43fc-8020-33e130f62023 https://land.copernicus.eu/en/products/urban-atlas WWW:LINK Product Information & Technical Documentation Commission Regulation (EU) No 1089/2010 of 23 November 2010 implementing Directive 2007/2/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards interoperability of spatial data sets and services 2010-12-08 publication See the referenced specification This product is generated based on satellite (LIDAR) information acquired as close as possible to the defined reference year. Based on these images a digital surface model (DSM) is generated. Afterwards a digital terrain model (DTM) is derived from the DSM with different filter algorithms and the assistance of Urban Atlas 2012 datasets. The calculation of the normalized DSM is done by a simple subtraction of the DTM from the DSM. The final product is then clipped based on UA 2012 building blocks and fully quality controlled.
