Safe heights for buildings and highest significant wave heights in Helsinki

Datasets produced by the Finnish Meteorological Institute on the safe construction height and the maximum estimated significant wave height in the Helsinki area.

The data is available for download in several formats, including JSON, KML, GIF, Tiff, GeoTiff, JPEG, PNG, CSV, Esri Shape. Available formats can always be found under OutputFormat in the GetCapabilities query for the service.

Coordinate systems:

  • Maintained in ETRS-GK25 (EPSG:3879), can be projected to other coordinate systems. See GetCapabilities query for other possible coordinate systems.
