The digital terrain model of waterways for the estuary of river Elbe (DGM-W 2022) in high resolution based on airborne laser scanning and echo sounder data is produced and published by the German Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (Wasserstraßen- und Schifffahrtsverwaltung des Bundes, WSV). The data includes the Outer Elbe and the tidally influenced tributaries and branches of the Elbe estuary upstream to the town Geesthacht. The data is available in a raster resolution of 1 meter. Coordinate reference system: EPSG 25852, ETRS89 / UTM Zone 32N Elevation reference system: DHHN2016, NHN Survey methods: Airborne laser scanning (ALS) 02.04.2022 - 19.04.2022 Multibeam echo sounder, single beam echo sounder 09.02.2017 - 09.04.2023 It is strongly recommended to use the data source map for quality assessment.
Grain size composition of loess samples from LGM European loess sequences. Loess samples of about 200 g were prepared to extract the grain size fractions studied. Grain size separations were performed on at least 10 g of dry sample. First, the entire sample was sieved with demineralized water on 63 microns and 20 microns sieves. The rejects were collected, dried and weighed. The clay fraction was obtained by decanting the fraction below 20 microns. The rest of the sample was mixed and left to settle for 1 hour. This procedure is repeated until a transparent supernatant is obtained. The two fractions thus obtained are dried and weighed. The size of the different fractions was then checked by laser granulometry.
The GBL (INSPIRE) represents mechanically drilled boreholes approved by the State Geological Surveys of Germany (SGS). Most of the drilling data were not collected by the SGS, but were transmitted to SGS by third parties in accordance with legal requirements. Therefore, the SGS can accept no responsibility for the accuracy of the information. According to the Data Specification on Geology (D2.8.II.4_v3.0) the boreholes of each federal state are stored in one INSPIRE-compliant GML file. The GML file together with a Readme.txt file is provided in ZIP format (e.g. GBL-INSPIRE_Lower_Saxony.zip). The Readme.txt file (German/English) contains detailed information on the GML file content. Data transformation was proceeded by using the INSPIRE Solution Pack for FME according to the INSPIRE requirements.

The high-resolution digital surface model (DSM1, DOM1) of the watercourses Elbe and Lower Havel is based on the airborne laser scanning data, undertaken from 06 January 2022 to 18 March 2022 in the Elbe area and from 20 to 22 December 2021 in the Havel area. It was produced and published by Germany’s Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG), on behalf of the River Basin Community Elbe (RBC Elbe, FGG Elbe). The work was supported by the German Federal Waterways and Shipping Administration (WSV) and the surveying offices and water management administrations of six German states - Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg, Lower Saxony, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Schleswig-Holstein. The data cover both the area around the inland water stretches of the Elbe from the Czech-German border to the village of Zollenspieker (part of the city of Hamburg) and the Lower Havel waterway from the town of Rathenow to its confluence with the Elbe. Since the dataset has a large coverage of 4,043 km², it is split into 62 sections. They were either labelled *HW in case of flood relevant areas (in German: “hochwasser-relevante Gebiete”) or *AU in case of historical floodplains (in German: “Altauengebiete”). Financing was divided according to these categories: In the HW areas, the project was co-funded by BfG, the WSV and the federal states, while in the AU areas, BfG covered all project costs. For each section we provide hillshade (*HS) and height maps (*NHN). The data are available in a raster resolution of 1 meter in GeoTiff format; Coordinate reference frame: ETRS89.DREF91.R16; Coordinate projection: UTM Zone 33N; EPSG-Code: 25833; Height reference system: DHHN2016, national vertical reference frame in Germany (2022).

Die Digitale Topographische Karte 1:100 000 (DTK100) beinhaltet die Rasterdaten der „Topographischen Karte 1:100 000 (TK100)“. Die DTK100 wird computerunterstützt aus dem ATKIS®-DLM und DGM der Bundesländer abgeleitet. Die Signaturierung der Kartenobjekte folgt den Regeln des Signaturenkatalogs ATKIS®-SK100. Die Rasterdaten sind nach kartographischen Inhaltselementen in Layer (Einzelebenen) gegliedert. Neben dem Summenlayer, der das vollständige farbige Kartenblatt beinhaltet, sind 24 weitere einfarbige Einzellayer Bestandteil der DTK100. Die Daten stehen in einer einheitlichen Rasterauflösung flächendeckend für die Bundesrepublik Deutschland zur Verfügung.
