A DEM consists of a sampled array of elevations for a number of ground positions that are normally at regularly spaced intervals. These intervals determine the spatial resolution of the DEM.
  • The USGS offers DEM in Public Domain having a spatial resolution of 90 m whereas commercial organizations have the DEM's at 30 m.
