A 10 m DEM/DTM derived from Sentinel-1 SAR data is a digital elevation model generated from radar imagery acquired by the Sentinel-1 satellite using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) within the Copernicus Programme of the European Space Agency (ESA). Through interferometric processing (InSAR), radar phase differences are converted into elevation values on a grid with approximately 10-meter spatial resolution.

Vertical reference: elevations are referenced to the WGS84 ellipsoid unless a geoid correction is applied in post-processing; in this dataset, heights have been converted to the EGM96 (15′) geoid.
