Background: Space Shuttle Radar Topography Mission
Import of original SRTM tiles in HGT format
Use the r.in.srtm module for automated import into a Latitude-Longitude location.
See:
- M.H. Bowman. Mapping freely available high resolution global elevation and vector data in GRASS. GRASS Newsletter, Vol.3, pp 7-10, June 2005. [ PDF ]
Import of CGIAR SRTM void-filled tiles
- SRTM 90 data in GeoTIFF format are available from http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/. These come in 5 degree by 5 degree tiles. Horizontal resolution: 3 arc second (90 m at equator). Coverage: world. Import with r.in.gdal
Import of multiple SRTM tiles in one step
To simplify the import of multiple SRTM tiles, the tiles can be mosaicked first with gdalwarp:
Original SRTM tiles:
# unzip all for i in *.hgt.zip ; do unzip $i ; done # create mosaik (optionally reproject on the fly with -t_srs) gdalwarp *.hgt srtm_mosaik.tif # import r.in.gdal input=srtm_mosaik output=srtm_mosaik
CGIAR SRTM tiles:
# create mosaik (optionally reproject on the fly with -t_srs) gdalwarp *.tif srtm_mosaik.tif # import r.in.gdal input=srtm_mosaik output=srtm_mosaik
Void filling of original SRTM tiles
The module r.fillnulls can be used. See screenshot
