NIDEM provides the first three-dimensional\nrepresentation of Australia's intertidal sandy beaches and shores, tidal\nflats and rocky shores and reefs at 25 m spatial resolution, addressing a\nkey gap between the availability of sub-tidal bathymetry and terrestrial\nelevation data. NIDEM was generated by combining global tidal modelling with\na 30-year time series archive of spatially and spectrally calibrated Landsat\nsatellite data managed within the Digital Earth Australia (DEA) platform.\nNIDEM complements existing intertidal extent products, and provides data to\nsupport a new suite of use cases that require a more detailed understanding\nof the three-dimensional topography of the intertidal zone, such as\nhydrodynamic modelling, coastal risk management and ecological habitat\nmapping.\n\nFor more information, please see the\n[DEA Intertidal Elevation](https://cmi.ga.gov.au/data-products/dea/325/dea-intertidal-elevation-landsat#basics)\n\n### Bands\n\n\n**Pixel Size**\n\n25 meters\n\n**Bands**\n\n| Name | Units | Min | Max | Pixel Size | Description |\n|---------------------|-------|-----|-----|------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|\n| `nidem` | m | -5 | 3.9 | meters | Primary product: elevation in meter units relative to modelled Mean Sea Level (MSL).
