NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM3) Global 3 arc-second number - National Geospatial Data Asset (NGDA)

The first release of Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data was provided in 1-degree digital elevation model (DEM) tiles from the USGS 2003. The data was released continent by continent, as and when the data was processed by NASA and the USGS. For the United States, data was made available at 1-arc second resolution (approximately 30m at the equator), but for the rest of the world the 1-arc second product is degraded to 3-arc seconds (approximately 90m at the equator). SRTM elevation data has now been released for the entire terrestrial surface, and a Finished product has now been released.

2003年，美国地质调查局（United States Geological Survey, USGS）以1度格网的数字高程模型（Digital Elevation Model, DEM）瓦片形式，发布了航天飞机雷达地形测绘任务（Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, SRTM）的首批数据。该数据由美国国家航空航天局（National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA）与美国地质调查局（USGS）完成处理后，按大洲依次发布。针对美国本土，数据以1角秒分辨率（赤道区域精度约30米）提供；而全球其余区域的1角秒产品则被降级至3角秒分辨率（赤道区域精度约90米）。目前，SRTM高程数据已覆盖全球所有陆地表面，其最终成品数据集也已正式发布。
