High-resolution Italian DEM– TINITALY – now in windPRO

The Italian Elevation Model – TINITALY – is a seamless digital elevation model that covers the territory of Italy. It is produced by Tarquini et al – using a Triangular Irregular Network (TIN) approach – and built from separate elevation models from each of the administrative regions of Italy.

Grid resolution is 10m with the model beings released from the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology / Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia (INGV). As a part of the TINITALY dataset evaluations, the authors documented the TINITALY DEM to outperform other sources.
