But here’s a USGS Earth Explorer download guide to help you get started. Under the data sets tab, select Digital Elevation > SRTM > SRTM 1-ArcSecond Global . To download, select your area of interest. SRTM DEM data is being housed on the USGS Earth Explorer. Also, it covers most of the world with an absolute vertical height accuracy of less than 16m. This 1-arc second global digital elevation model has a spatial resolution of about 30 meters. In late 2014, the United States government released the highest resolution SRTM DEM to the public. C-Band penetrated canopy cover to the ground better but SRTM still struggled in sloping regions with foreshortening, layover and shadow. Using two radar antennas and a single pass, it collected sufficient data to generate a digital elevation model using a technique known as interferometric synthetic aperture radar (inSAR). Back in February 2000, the Space Shuttle Endeavour launched with the SRTM payload. NASA only needed 11 days to capture Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) 30-meter digital elevation model.
