The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM, seeFarr
et al. 2007)
digital elevation data is an international research effort that
obtained digital elevation models on a near-global scale. This
SRTM V3 product (SRTM Plus) is provided by NASA JPL
at a resolution of 1 arc-second (approximately 30m).
This dataset has undergone a void-filling process using open-source data
(ASTER GDEM2, GMTED2010, and NED), as opposed to other versions that
contain voids or have been void-filled with commercial sources.
For more information on the different versions see theSRTM Quick Guide.
Unless otherwise noted, images and video on JPL public
web sites (public sites ending with a jpl.nasa.gov address) may
be used for any purpose without prior permission. For more information
and exceptions visit theJPL Image Use Policy site.
