Geographic accuracy:
This dataset has errors in the 5 m contourline. It is strongly advised not to use it for geoprocessing or statistical purposes. The resolution of grid data is 90 to 100 meters. Its geometrical accuracy in x,y and z does not exceed 5 meters for lowlying areas and 15 meters for mountainous areas.

Data sources

EUROSION was a project commissioned by the General Directorate Environment of the European Commission 2002-2004. The Digital Terrain Model, MONA PRO Europe, is a copyrighted product provided by Geosys Data. To derive contour lines of 5 and 10 meters, the data were locally complemented with other sources, namely national DTM and digitised topographical maps.

Additional information

Elevation data are provided in two forms: A Digital Terrain Model (DTM) which consists in a grid data of altitudes with a 90 to 100m resolution 5 meters height contour lines, in vector format, derived from the DTM and completed where needed with other sources of data.
