SRTM GL1 v3 (30 m)#

srtm · theme terrain · no data

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission 1 arc-second global DEM, version 3 (void-filled), as served by Earth Engine: the February 2000 C-band radar surface, 60°N to 56°S, EGM96 geoid. Kept under its own name because so much of the snow literature is built on it; NASADEM is the same mission reprocessed, and the one to use when no Earth Engine account is at hand.
