Elevation (SRTM-30)

Resolution: 00:00:30

Terrain maps show the elevation above sea level on the land and depth of the ocean and sea bottom. The slope inclination and azimuth are calculated on-the-fly. The map is developed from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and SRTM Water Body Dataset (SWBD).

The detailed SRTM3 data with grid resolution of 3 arcsec (~90 m at the equator) are available between the latitudes 60N and 50S, which represents the most of the continental parts of the Earth. For regions north from 60N and south from 50S, only the elevation data from GTOPO30 (SRTM30) are available. The original grid resolution of the GTOPO30 dataset is 30 arcsec (~1000 m at the equator).

The bathymetry has been created from two different sources: SRTM30 plus dataset and CleanTOPO2 dataset, in which a few inconsitencies of SRTM30 plus are resolved. The fusion of these datasets has been done and the new map of bathymetry has been created.

Terrain shading has been derived from GTOPO30 and SRTM-3 data.
