Description

The Reference Elevation Model of Antarctica (REMA) is a high resolution, time-stamped Digital Surface Model (DSM) of Antarctica at 2-meter and 8-meter spatial resolutions.

Strip DEM files correspond to the overlapping area of the input stereoscopic imagery pair strips as they are collected by DigitalGlobe's constellation of polar-orbiting satellites. Strip DEM dimensions will vary according to the satellite sensor that acquired the images and the off-nadir angle of collection. Most strips are between 13 km and 17 km in width, and 110 km and 120 km in length.
