Correction of geo-positioning issues in EU-DEM v1.0 as reference also using SPOT 2011 imagery
Bias adjustment with ICESat points
Screening and removal of artefacts in the EU-DEM v1.0, including the presence of blunders (i.e. negative or positive anomalies)
Ensuring consistency with EU-Hydro to produce a better river network topology:
Consistency of the coastline with the EU-HYDRO coastline, including the removal of DEM values outside the EU-HYDRO coastline
Use of the EU-HYDRO coastline to smooth the gradient to the coast in flat regions
Burning of EU-HYDRO water bodies to set EU-DEM to the minimum height inside the water body, smoothing the boundaries
