Digital terrain model for the river Rhine for an area of interest

This data provides the absolute altitudes of the Rhine river bed. This information has been generated on the basis of bathymetric and aerial surveys. It is currently available for the area of specific interest (AOI) delimited by kilometre stones 170 and 180. The resolution of this raster file is 1m. Do not use for navigation !

Statement: The original data was supplied by the BFG (manager) and is the property of the WSV (owner). They were in .xyz format and covered an area slightly larger than that of the Rhine. GeoRhena carried out the following processing: assembly, cutting, reprojection and creation of a digital elevation model.

Please note: the original height reference system is now obsolete. It is DHHN92.
