RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] 30m SRTM worldwide?
Hi Sylvain Great that you can deal with the anomalies in Grass.I hope that the note 'Undoubtedly the linear artifact are « step anomaly » (p. 19 text).' That should make the correction straightforward. I figured that by ink-stain they would imply some anomalous 'edge' like when a coffee-stains darkens at the edges.

Hi Carsten, It is almost certain that you are right. The chapter "C.

The text says they "Regularity and Often Occur with high frequency in Virtually all ASTER GDEM tiles" and "from just a FEW meters to 100 meters or more." Ok - The large positive anomalies similar to "mole run" artifacts (p.23 of the text). - Undoubtedly the linear artifact are "step anomaly" (p. 19 text).

RE: [OSGeo-Discuss] 30m SRTM worldwide?
I looked around for information about the artefacts in the aster data. The Quality Assessment file that accompanies the data mentions:QuoteThe automated cloud masking and statistical approach used to select data for stacking are not totally effective in avoiding anomalous elevations values, and anomalies may remain in the GDEM where the stack number is three or less, particularly. Where available, existing DEMs were used to replace anomalous GDEM values, including adjusting for offsets between the ASTER GDEM and the reference DEM data. UnQuotefollowing the link:http://www.ersdac.or.jp/GDEM/E/image/ASTERGDEM_ValidationSummaryReport_Ver1.pdfAt page ~20 the chapter "Artifacts Related to Irregular Stack Number Boundaries." has additional information and visual displays equal to the ones you link to at //yepka..It would be interesting if the artefacts reveal some secret about the landscape, but so far I've treated as a measurement/processing-error.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] 30m SRTM worldwide?
Hi, The Aster DEM has 30m posting and covers most of the globe. http://free-gis-data.blogspot.com/2009/04/aster-global-digital-elevation-model.html Also http://www.terrainmap.com/rm22.html However, as I understand it, the the most recent version of the STRM, despite a 90m grid, may give you better details especially on flatter areas with greater cloud cover than the ASTER withs its 30m posting. The ASTER may have the edge in areas of sharper relief. I can try dig out the technical reasons if you like. We've downloaded large amounts of both with not too much hassle.

Hi everyone, I can create a transparent overlay for Garmin Map (IMG files), of the entire planet for these SRTM contour lines. I can use the grid of .1x.1degree tiles. If their is any use for having this map, on a global-scale, please let me know, i i can create it. I could also upload this data in the .osm file format to the commonmap development API, so then it can be downloads easily. if there is a demand, an API can be created to host this specifically.

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] 30m SRTM worldwide?
Hi, you can also download them from the earthexplorer ui from the USGS ( http://earthexplorer.usgs.gov) more informations on http://eros.usgs.gov/#/Find_Data/Products_and_Data_Available/SRTM cheers, Sylvain 2011/8/22 maning sambale > I got this news recently, from this website, one can download ~30m SRTM > data: > http://eoweb.dlr.de:8080/index.html > > "The X-band SRTM DEM data are provided in DTED format.

[OSGeo-Discuss] 30m SRTM worldwide?
I got this news recently, from this website, one can download ~30m SRTM data: http://eoweb.dlr.de:8080/index.html "The X-band SRTM DEM data are provided in DTED format. Detailed information on the DTED format can be found in the document 'Product Description of the SRTM DTED-Format' (SRTM/PD-03/11/03) available at http://www.dlr.de/srtm/docs/SRTM-XSAR-DEM-DTED-1.1.pdf. The DEM and HEM data are in geographic (Lat/Long) projection, datum WGS84. The elevation values are also WGS84, as specified in the product description of the SRTM DTED-format. The DEMs inside the compressed archive are distributed as individual files, i.e. they are not mosaicked into one large DEM file. Each DEM covers an area of 15' by 15'. The filename of the individual DEM file specifies the bottom left coordinate of the corresponding 15' by 15' DEM tile. One pixel of the DEM files corresponds to approximately 25 m x 25 m on the ground. The elevation values are provided at a resolution of 1 m. The horizontal accuracy of the SRTM X-band DEMs is ±20 m (abs.) / ±15 m (rel.), both 90% CE. The vertical accuracy is ±16 m (abs.) / ±6 m (rel.), both 90% LE. Precise information on vertical and horizontal accuracies for individual tiles can be found in the accuracy description record (ACC) of the DTED file. " I tried to access the public portal, but I just got the "Loading java virtual machine" message. Anyone here, who can access the data and is it really available to the public? -- cheers, maning -- "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ -- ___ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
