r.in.srtm
DESCRIPTION
r.in.srtm imports SRTM hgt files into GRASS.
SRTM data sets can be downloaded from NASA at this FTP site (Version 1 and the
improved Version 2):
ftp://e0srp01u.ecs.nasa.gov/srtm/
NOTES
SRTM tiles are of 1 degree by 1 degree size. The SRTM filename contains the
coordinates which refer to the center of the lower left pixel (e.g., N51E010:
lower left cell center at 10E, 51N). To itentify a tile name, a grid can be easily
visualized in the GRASS monitor:
