The GEBCO_2014 Grid is classified as a historical Gebco dataset with a spatial resolution of 30 arc seconds. Originally published in 2014, last updated in April 2015. The data set is largely based on a database of ship-track soundings with interpolation between soundings guided by satellite-derived gravity data. Where they improve on this model, data sets generated from other methods are included. The grid is accompanied by a Source Identifier Grid (SID). This indicates if the corresponding cells in the GEBCO_2014 Grid are based on soundings, pre-generated grids or interpolation.

Digital terrain models offer a representation of the relief south of the 52nd parallel, in the form of an elevation matrix. This matrix makes it possible to visualize the territory in perspective and to perform three-dimensional spatial analyses, using appropriate software. A module specialized in three-dimensional data processing, such as 3D Analyst or Spatial Analyst, is required to visualize the digital altitude model in three dimensions. This digital altitude model (10-meter pixel matrix) is obtained by processing altimeter data (level curves and elevation points) from ** [topographic databases on a scale of 1/20,000] (https://www.donneesquebec.ca/recherche/fr/dataset/cartes-topographiques-a-l-echelle-de-1-20-000) **.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

These digital terrain models (DTM) offer a regional numerical representation of Quebec's relief based on altimetric (altitude) and planimetric (rectangular or geographic) data. They are the result of a collaboration between the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF) and Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) within the framework of the Agreement to produce an up-to-date digital map of northern Quebec and the creation of the product “National Hydro Network (RHN)” for the territory of Quebec. When integrated into a geographic information system, these models allow the implementation of multiple types of spatial analyses such as natural risks, landscape analysis, infrastructure implementation, etc. NCDs are obtained as a result of hypsometric and hydrographic data processing that uses the concept of hydro-coherence that uses the concept of hydro-coherence consisting in interpolating altimetric values by ensuring a connected drainage network and an accurate representation of crests and river courses. water. The oriented RHN filament makes it possible to grade lakes and to control the altimeter descent of watercourses. The final product is a quality portrait of relief on a scale of 1/50,000. DNTs provide altitude values that are based on a grid with a resolution of 0.324 arcseconds in geographic coordinates, which corresponds to a resolution of about 10 meters in the field.**This third party metadata element was translated using an automated translation tool (Amazon Translate).**

This collection is a legacy product that is no longer supported. It may not meet current government standards. The North American Atlas data are standardized geospatial data sets at 1:10,000,000 scale. A variety of basic data layers (e.g. roads, railroads, populated places, political boundaries, hydrography, bathymetry, sea ice and glaciers) have been integrated so that their relative positions are correct. This collection of data sets forms a base with which other North American thematic data may be integrated. The North American Atlas data are intended for geographic display and analysis at the national and continental level. Any data outside of Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America included in the North American Atlas data sets is strictly to complete the context of the data.
