Hi Frank,
so these are the steps I used on my ubuntu machine:
1. Download the Copernicus Data and unzip
2. create the virtual tif-image gdalbuildvrt all.vrt *.TIF
3. cut the 1°x1° tiles with the perl script
this results in almost 65GB of uncompressed tif tiles
4. convert every tif-tile to hgt using the following loop
for i in N*.tif ; do
gdal_translate -strict -q -eco -of SRTMHGT $i hgt/`basename $i tif`hgt ;
done ;
rm -f *.hgt.aux.xml ;
5. I found out that the file N27W000.hgt is completely empty, so all tiles
with the identical content are empty also.
with the following commands I removed the empty tiles
mv N27W000.hgt EMPTY.hgt;
for i in N*.hgt ; do
if diff EMPTY.hgt $i ; then
rm -f $i;
fi
done ;
rm -F EMPTY.hgt;
Now I got 25GB in 1001 hgt tiles
