How To Access Data
Project Proposal (Restrained)
- Go to the ESA User Services Portal
- Register or log in to EO Sign In
- After logging in, complete and submit the form with your proposed use of the data
- The proposal will be evaluated by ESA, which normally takes between 4 and 6 weeks
- Upon successful evaluation, you will receive a confirmation email, which describes the amount of data to be provided, and details of how to order the data

The following WorldDEM products can be requested:
| Products | Description |
| WorldDEMcore | WorldDEMcore is output of interferometric processing of StripMap data pairs without any post-processing |
| WorldDEMTM | WorldDEMTM is produced based on WorldDEMcore, representing the surface of the Earth (including buildings, infrastructure and vegetation). Hydrological consistency is ensured |
| WorldDEM DTM | In additional editing steps, WorldDEMTMis transformed into a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) representing bare Earth elevation |
| WorldDEM Bundle | Includes WorldDEMTM, WorldDEM DTM, and Quality Layers |
The main specifications of the WorldDEM products are:
- Horizontal Coordinate Reference System: World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84-G1150)
- Vertical Coordinate Reference System: Earth Gravitational Model 2008 (EGM2008)
- Absolute Horizontal Accuracy: <6 m
- Vertical Accuracy: 2 m Relative, 4 m Absolute
- Quality Layers (including water body mask) can be requested as an option with the WorldDEM and WorldDEM DTM
- Auxiliary Layers are delivered together with the WorldDEMcore product
