ALOS DSM: Global 30m (JAXA/ALOS/AW3D30_V1_1)

Version 1.1

ALOS World 3D - 30m (AW3D30) is a global digital surface model (DSM) dataset with a horizontal resolution of approximately 30 meters (1 arcsec mesh). The dataset is based on the DSM dataset (5-meter mesh version) of the World 3D Topographic Data. More details are available in the dataset documentation.

NameDescriptionGee Unit
AVEElevation value calculated by average resampling a 5-meter mesh model.Meters
MEDElevation value calculated by median resampling a 5-meter mesh model.Meters
AVE_STKStacking number of the scene unit DSM used in producing DSM. The band is derived by resampling the stacking number for 5m resolution DSM to 30m resolution.
MED_STKStacking number of the scene unit DSM used in producing DSM. The band is derived by resampling the stacking number for 5m resolution DSM to 30m resolution.
AVE_MSK8-bit mask for the ave band.
MED_MSK8-bit mask for the med band.
