International DEMs

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) obtained elevation data on a near-global scale to generate the most complete high-resolution digital topographic database of Earth. SRTM consisted of a specially modified radar system that flew onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour during an 11-day mission in February of 2000.

SRTM data were processed from raw radar echoes into digital elevation models at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, CA. These original data files had samples spaced ("posted") at intervals of 1 arc-second of latitude and longitude (about 30 meters at the equator). These data were then edited by the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (NGA, formerly the National Imagery and Mapping Agency), and distributed as part of their DTED® product set.

The editing, also referred to as finishing, consisted of delineating and flattening water bodies, better defining coastlines, removing "spikes" and "wells", and filling small voids. This "finished" set is publicly available at two postings: 1 arc-second for the United States and its territories and possessions, and 3 arc-seconds for regions between 60 degrees North and 56 degrees South latitude.
