Terrain Surrounding Wild Basin
This page contains terrain elevation data for the Rocky Mountains, near
Wild Basin in Colorado. The data files were generated from the USGS
SRTM 1 arc-second database
SRTM information page
As shown below, the data is presented on a 100 x 100 km square, centered at
40.2N, 105.57W.
Three separate resolutions are available: 100, 50, and 25 m. The 25 m dataset is close to the SRTM native resolution, whereas the 50 and 100 m datasets are downsampled. The three datasets contain 1001x1001, 2001x200x, and 4001x4001 points respectively, where the elevation is written in double-precision (64 bit) floating-point format. The data are given in a Cartesian coordinate system and data are indexed from the lower left to the upper right corner, incrementing in the longitude direction first (e.g. the first 1001 points of the 100m dataset are at the same latitude). The vtk files also contain the elevation data, but in a format that can be visualized using paraview.
