      <abstract>The Global Map - Global Elevation - is a global digital elevation dataset with a horizontal grid of 15 arcsecond. In most parts, vertical heights are in integer meter and referenced to the Earth Gravitation Model 1996 (EGM96) geoid. This data is based on Global Map Specifications Ver.2.2., and has been developed using Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010) of USGS and GLCNMO</abstract>
