Import SRTM DEM

Import SRTM DEM

Imports a tile of the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) elevation model at 3 arc second resolution.

The SRTM DEM Definition is intended to work with the SRTM 90m Version 4 in GeoTiff format.

If a requested tile is not found in the SRTM Folder specified in the Settings, then it will download the tile from the Consultative Group for International Agriculture Research (CGIAR) - Consortium for Spatial Information (CSI).

Since the SRTM height information is referred to geoid EGM96, not WGS84 ellipsoid, correction has been applied to obtain height relative to the WGS84 ellipsoid.
