TanDEM-X PolarDEM 90m of Antarctica has been released in the EOC Geoservice and Download Service

The TanDEM-X PolarDEM 90m of Antarctica is a gap-free digital elevation model (DEM) product of Antarctica generated from the TanDEM-X mission in 90 meter resolution. The DEM product was derived from the global TanDEM-X DEM undergoing a gap-filling process with additional TanDEM-X acquisitions and an editing especially of noisy ocean values. The DEM represents elevation values mainly from data acquired in 2013 and 2014. The TanDEM-X PolarDEM is a project developed by the German Remote Sensing Data Center (DFD) at the German Aerospace Center (DLR) within the activities of the TanDEM-X mission. It is a framework for the provision of derivatives of the global Digital Elevation Model (DEM) of the TanDEM-X mission for Polar Regions [1]. The dataset can be visualized in the EOC Geoservice Webapp [2] and after registration, also be downloaded from the EOC Download Service [3].
