This map is an attractive representation of the relief of Australia with north-west illumination.

The elevation image was derived from Geoscience Australia's GEODATA 9 Second Digital Elevation Model (DEM) with a grid spacing of 9 seconds of latitude and longitude (approximately 250 metres on the ground). Over 5 million spot height values were used in the generation of the DEM.

This mosaic comprises 165 scenes that were acquired between November 2000 and February 2001 from the RADARSAT satellite. This satellite carries a radar instrument that sends pulsed signals to Earth and processes the reflected pulses.

The information received by the satellite is converted into a black and white image that shows the texture of the Earth"s surface in a different way to a normal "photograph". The poster is about 91cm x 80cm and is at 1:5,500,00 scale.

Please note that this poster is not nomally held in stock and must be freighted from Canada for each order.
