Methodology:
The data set was compiled by EEA and is derived from the GTOPO30 dataset (http://edcdaac.usgs.gov/gtopo30/gtopo30.html). The DTM was converted to raster (georefernced tiff) using Arcview and Grid Pig extension. The Caspian Sea border, the Africa depression and some areas from the Netherlands, all under sea level were corrected. The DTM was hillshaded using ArcMap and Spatial Analyst using following parametres: Azimuth: 315, Altitude: 45, Model shadows: Yes, Z factor: 10, Cell size: 1000 m.

Data sources
GTOPO30, available from U.S. Geological Survey, EROS Data Center, Sioux Falls, South Dakota. GTOPO30 is a global digital elevation model (DEM) with a horizontal grid spacing of 30 arc seconds (approximately 1 kilometer). GTOPO30 was derived from several raster and vector sources of topographic information. GTOPO30, completed in late 1996, was developed over a three year period through a collaborative effort led by staff at the U.S. Geological Survey´s EROS Data Center (EDC). The following organizations participated by contributing funding or source data: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), the United Nations Environment Programme/Global Resource Information Database (UNEP/GRID), the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the Instituto Nacional de Estadistica Geografica e Informatica (INEGI) of Mexico, the Geographical Survey Institute (GSI) of Japan, Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research of New Zealand, and the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR).
