Ontario Radar Digital Surface Model (DSM)

The Map Library has recently received from Land Information Ontario the Ontario Radar Digital Surface Model (DSM), created by using spaceborne C-Band Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (IFSAR) data. The current provincial digital elevation models cover only the southern half of Ontario with little for North Boreal or Lowland coverage. This Radar DSM will fill in the provincial elevation data gap and extends north from 49 degree latitude north..

The surface elevation model has the following feature:
-- Spatial resolution: 30 meter
-- Lambert Conformal Conic Projection
-- Vertical Datum in both EGM96 and CGVD28, separately
-- Elevation value: floating
