What can you do with this layer?

Use for Visualization: Yes. Dark Multi-Directional Hillshade provides a quick indication of the shape of the terrain at a range of map scales. The image service can be added to web applications or other maps to enhance contextual understanding. For basemap needs, use World Hillshade (Dark) instead.

Use for Analysis: No. A hillshade is generally not used for analysis.This layer is part of a larger collection of elevation layers that you can use to perform a variety of mapping analysis tasks.

This layer provides a hillshaded surface generated dynamically using a multi-directional hillshade server-side function on the World Elevation Terrain layer. This algorithm computes hillshade from six different directions, where each hillshade is multiplied by a weight and thereafter the sum of all is normalized to produce the final output. The z factor is varied based on scale so that a suitable hillshade is visible at all scales. This layer is useful for visualization of the Terrain because it is easy to interpret and use as a base layer in applications and maps.

The USGS Shaded Relief base map service from The National Map was created with data from the 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) for large and medium scales (1:9,028 through 1:1,155,581), and Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data 2010 (GMTED2010) for small scales (1:2,311,162 through 1:295,828,764). 3DEP maintains a seamless dataset of best available raster elevation data, as LIDAR and as digital elevation models (DEMs), for the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Territorial Islands. Resolutions available include 1-meter, 3-meter (1/9-arc-second), 10-meter (1/3-arc-second), 30-meter (1-arc-second), and 60-meter (2-arc-second; only in Alaska). 3DEP also contains coverage of Canada, Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean at 30-meter (1-arc-second) resolution. 3DEP shaded relief was derived with a multi-directional hillshade technique. Small-scale shaded relief was created with a single-direction hillshade from GMTED2010 global elevation data at 7.5-, 15-, and 30-arc-second resolutions, and resampled further for scales 1:18,489,298 and smaller. Ocean areas are left unfilled for maximum flexibility by end users.

This layer portrays elevation as an artistic hillshade. The map is designed to be used as a backdrop for topographical, soil, hydro, landcover or other outdoor recreational maps. It’s a default relief background in various basemaps such as Topographic, Terrain with Labels.The map is compiled from a variety of data sources from commercial, community maps and many authoritative organizations across the globe. The basemap has global coverage down to a scale of ~1:72k. In the United States, parts of Europe, Asia and Africa coverage goes down to ~1:9k. To see the coverage and sources of various datasets comprising this map layer, view the Elevation Coverage Map. Additionally, this layer uses data from Maxar’s Precision 3D Digital Terrain Models for parts of the globe.The map is based on the Multi-directional hillshade algorithm.Precise Tile RegistrationThe World Hillshade map uses the improved tiling scheme “WGS84 Geographic, Version 2” to ensure proper tile positioning at higher resolutions (neighborhood level and beyond). The new tiling scheme is much more precise than tiling schemes of the legacy basemaps Esri released years ago. We recommend that you start using this new basemap for any new web maps in WGS84 that you plan to author. Due to the number of differences between the old and new tiling schemes, some web clients will not be able to overlay tile layers in the old and new tiling schemes in one web map.

This dynamic World Elevation Terrain layer returns float values representing ground heights in meters and compiles multi-resolution data from many authoritative data providers from across the globe. Heights are orthometric (sea level = 0), and water bodies that are above sea level have approximated nominal water heights.Height units: MetersUpdate Frequency: QuarterlyCoverage: World/GlobalData Sources: This layer is compiled from a variety of best available sources from several data providers. To see the coverage and extents of various datasets comprising this service in an interactive map, see World Elevation Coverage Map.What can you do with this layer?Use for Visualization: This layer is generally not optimal for direct visualization. By default, 32 bit floating point values are returned, resulting in higher bandwidth requirements. Therefore, usage should be limited to applications requiring elevation data values. Alternatively, client applications can select from numerous additional functions, applied on the server, that return rendered data. For visualizations such as multi-directional hillshade, hillshade, elevation tinted hillshade, and slope, consider using the appropriate server-side function defined on this service.Use for Analysis: Yes. This layer provides data as floating point elevation values suitable for use in analysis. There is a limit of 5000 rows x 5000 columns.Note: This layer combine data from different sources and resamples the data dynamically to the requested projection, extent and pixel size. For analyses using ArcGIS Desktop, it is recommended to filter a dataset, specify the projection, extent and cell size using the Make Image Server Layer geoprocessing tool. The extent is factor of cell size and rows/columns limit. e.g. if cell size is 10 m, the extent for analysis would be less than 50,000 m x 50,000 m.Server Functions: This layer has server functions defined for the following elevation derivatives. In ArcGIS Pro, server function can be invoked from Layer Properties - Processing Templates.

This layer is updated as new elevation data is available.ProjectionNew Zealand Transverse Mercator 2000 (NZTM2000).The New Zealand Hillshade DSM is a cached layer that visualizes New Zealand's Digital Surface Model as a Multi-Directional Hillshade. This layer can be used in combination with other New Zealand basemaps. In the map viewer, by using the layer blending options, this layer can be combined with other layers. The hillshade layer uses the publicly available 1m elevation data. Only for regions where high resolution DSM is available has this layer coverage. This layer will be regularly updated as more high resolution elevation data become available by Land Information New Zealand. The data in this layer is the same as the data in the New Zealand Elevation layer, except for datasets that don't have equivalent DSM. More information about this data can be found in the NZ Elevation metadata layer. This service is offered by Eagle Technology (Official Esri Distributor). Eagle Technology offers layers and maps that can be used in the ArcGIS platform. The Content team at Eagle Technology updates the layers on a regular basis and regularly adds new content to the Living Atlas.
