Elevation model 2 m

Elevation model 2 m is a model depicting the elevation of the ground surface in relation to sea level. Its grid size is 2 m x 2 m. The dataset is based on laser scanning data, the point density of which is at least 0.5 points per square metre. The product's coverage is based on nationwide laser scanning. In some parts of the outer archipelago or the eastern border, the elevation model is not available.



Elevation model 2 m is produced in two quality classes: the elevation accuracy in class I is on average 0.3 metres and the elevation accuracy in class II varies between 0.3 metres and one metre.



The product belongs to the open data of the National Land Survey of Finland.

Purpose

The elevation model allows for example simulation of areas with a high risk of flooding or that of receiving, coverage and service areas. The model can also be used for mass calculation of excavated material and land-fill and for calculating inclinations, steepness or profiles. Application areas are found, for example in geol-ogy, geography and forestry.

Other citation details

Elevation model 2 m depicts the height of the terrain above sea level. The height values are in accordance with the system N2000.



Elevation model 2 m is the most accurate elevation model of Finland which covers extensive areas. Approximately 40,000 square kilometres are added into the model every year.
