Digital Elevation Model of the Altai Mountains (Optimus / Power Red / SWW / Warm Color / Hard Color / Color Class / SAT...)


The presented image is a visualization of a digital elevation model (DEM) of the Altai Mountains and vicinity (Big Altai Mountains, Altai Mts). This is the result of the interpretation of the land surface radar mapping data (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, SRTM Version 4, 2008) and its subsequent processing using the ArcGIS Desktop v10.3.0. Esri Inc., application tools and also using a graphical editor.

Thematic layers: high-rise model of the land surface, shadow relief shading (Hillshade based on Cluster method modified for slope - Cluster Hillshade (Slope)), hydrological data, state and administrative bolder, gradient elevation coloring, map design elements...
