Caribbean Tinted Hillshade

This map features a multi-resolution terrain layer for elevation displayed using the function for tinted hillshade.  Terrain represents ground surface elevation and is based on a digital terrain model (DTM) where the lowest measured elevation values have been favored, and features such as structures and vegetation have been eliminated, leaving the best estimate of where the ground surface would be. Ground surface elevation is also known as bare earth elevation.Dataset SummaryThis layer is primarily intended for visualization and exploration tasks scripts.  There are multiple datasets available within this layer, and depending on the scale being viewed, data from one of these datasets will be shown:GMTED2010 – Global Multi-res Terrain Elevation Data 2010, from USGS – 30, 15, and 7.5 ArcSecond (approximate resolution 1 km, 500 m, and 250 m per pixel)SRTM – From 60 Degrees N to 58 S. From USGS. – 3 ArcSecond (92.766242 m)NED – Covering Alaska. From USGS. – 2 ArcSecond (61.844162 m)NED – Covering Continental United States, Hawaii, and Mexico. From USGS. – 1 ArcSecond (30.922081 m)NED – Covering Continental United States, Hawaii, and parts of Alaska. From USGS. – 1/3 ArcSecond (10.30736 m)NED – Covering some portions of the Eastern United States. From USGS. – 1/9 ArcSecond (3.435787 m)This layer provides numeric values representing ground surface heights, based on a digital terrain model (DTM). Heights are orthometric (sea level = 0), and water bodies that are above sea level have approximated nominal water heights. In order to most effectively work with this service in ArcGIS Desktop, you will need to use the exact resolutions given above as the cell size geoprocessing environment setting.What can you do with this layer?This layer has server functions defined for following elevation derivatives:Slope DegreesSlope PercentageAspectHillshadePre-symbolized Elevation Tinted Hillshade (shown by default in this map)Pre-symbolized Slope DegreesPre-symbolized AspectThis layer has query, identify, and export image services available. The layer is restricted to a 24,000 x 24,000 pixel limit. This layer is part of a larger collection of elevation layers that you can use to perform a variety of mapping analysis tasks.
