About this technology

Overview

The software uses command line input of the latitude and longitude geographic coordinates, accesses the Copernicus Global (GLO) 90 m digital elevation model (DEM) cloud optimized GeoTIFF data available within the AWS Cloud, processes these files to geolocate the pixel closest to the provided coordinates and returns the surface elevation in meters. This code was developed in Python and it could be used for algorithm development and production applications.
