Layers include: various DEM derivatives computed using SAGA GIS at 250 m and using MERIT DEM (Yamazaki et al., 2017) as input. Antartica is not included. MERIT DEM was first reprojected to 6 global tiles based on the Equi7 grid system (Bauer-Marschallinger et al. 2014) and then these were used to derive all DEM derivatives. To access original DEM tiles please refer to MERIT DEM download page .
