The dataset is based on the DSM dataset\n(5-meter mesh version) of the [World 3D Topographic Data](https://www.aw3d.jp/en/).\nMore details are available in the dataset [documentation](https://www.eorc.jaxa.jp/ALOS/en/dataset/aw3d30/data/aw3d30v4.1_product_e_1.0.pdf).\n\nThis ingested dataset combines data from versions 3.1, 4.0, and 4.1.\n\nVersion 4.1 (April 2024): This major update released 19,051 tiles covering\nglobal regions (excluding Antarctica and Japan). It incorporates new\nsupplementary data for void filling and corrects partial anomalies found in\nversions 3.1 and 3.2, along with re-filling voids. For specific tile updates\nin v4.1, please use the v4.1 filter on map tiles or consult the latest\nformat description.\n\nVersion 4.0 (April 2023): This update released 1,886 tiles, improving low\nand mid-latitude regions and areas south of 60 degrees latitude.\n\nKey changes include:\n1. New supplementary data for void filling.\n2. Correction of partial anomalies and re-filling of voids (2 tiles).\n3. Updated coastlines for regions south of 60 degrees latitude (44 tiles).\n4. Disabled Caspian Sea water mask and supplemented with elevation data\n(54 tiles).\n5. Extracted and corrected new partial anomaly areas in South America\n(1,786 tiles).\n6. For detailed tile information for v4.0, please use the v4.0 filter on\nmap tiles or refer to the format description.\n\nVersion 3.2, released in January 2021, is an improved version created by\nreconsidering the format in the high latitude area, auxiliary data, and\nprocessing method. Different pixel spacing for each latitude zone was\nadopted at high latitude area. Coastline data, which is one of the\nauxiliary datasets, was changed, and new supplementary data was used. In\naddition, as a source data for Japan, AW3D version 3 was also used.\nFurthermore, the method of detecting anomalous values in the process was\nimproved.\n| **Note:** See the code example for the recommended way of computing slope. Unlike most DEMs in Earth Engine, this is an image collection due to multiple resolutions of source files that make it impossible to mosaic them into a single asset, so the slope computations need a reprojection.\n\nThe AW3D DSM elevation is calculated by an image matching process\nthat uses a stereo pair of optical images. Clouds, snow, and ice are\nautomatically identified during processing and applied the\nmask information. However, mismatched points sometimes\nremain especially surrounding (or at the edges of) clouds, snow,\nand ice areas, which cause some height errors in the final DSM.\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n30 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Min | Max | Pixel Size | Description |\n|-------|--------|--------|------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|\n| `DSM` | -433\\* | 8768\\* | meters | Height above sea level.
