The DEM is described by the metadata record 'Bunger Hills SPOT5 DEM (Digital Elevation Model)' with Entry ID bunger_hills_spot5_dem_gis.
The DEM was referenced to Mean Sea Level using Earth Gravitational Model 1996 (EGM96).
Estimated accuracies of the DEM (confidence level 90%):
planimetric - 15 to 30 metres
vertical - 10 metres to 20 metres for slope less than or equal to 20 per cent
The DEM should be viewed before using the contours as it has some No Data areas.
The contours were created in ArcGIS 10.3 using the following procedure:
1 The DEM was resampled using the Resample tool to a cell size of 50 metres using the bilinear technique;
2 The DEM resulting from step 1 was used as an input to the Focal Statistics tool which was used to calculate, for each cell, the mean elevation of a three cell by three cell square neighbourhood;
3 The Contour tool was used to create 50 metre interval contours from the DEM resulting from step 2;
4 The contours resulting from step 3 were smoothed using the Smooth Line tool with the Paek algorithm and a smoothing tolerance of 50 metres;
5 The contours resulting from step 4 were converted to single part features using the Multipart to Singlepart tool;
6 A topology was created for the contours resulting from step 5 and used to identify contours touching and editing was carried out to correct these errors.VIEW RELATED INFORMATIONhttps://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/metadata/citation.cfm?entry_id=bunger_hills_contoursCitation reference for this metadata record and dataset.GET DATAhttp://data.aad.gov.au/aadc/portal/download_file.cfm?file_id=4709Download point for the dataAMD/AUAMDCEOSCEOS IDN DIFVERSION 10.22017-02-172017-04-261970-01-01T00:00:001970-01-01T00:00:00Not provided
