Date range	September 1999 – February 2003
Algorithm	Evidential reasoning combining EcoSat standardised reflectance, EcoSat woody layer, and NZLRI

Data source	20 m digital contoursand spot heights (NZMS260), NIWA digital stream network
Interpolation algorithm	Arc/Info Topogrid with drainage enforcement on.

Comments	This DEM has been optimised for slope to produce accurate standardised reflectance. It is hydrologically consistent with the NIWA digital stream network. It is useful for automatically producing catchment boundaries on flat areas. For national applications it is more convenient to use the LandcareResearch 25-m DEM.
