https://doi.org/10.5285/8e483692-3b65-41d2-a7fd-5a3cd589a71c Cite this dataset
3D digital elevation models of Tsho Rolpa glacier lake, Nepal, generated from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery, with a spatial resolution of 10 centimetres. It is combined with bathymetry data so that both the lakebed elevation (DTM) and the lake surface elevation (DSM) are obtained.
