<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>r.in.srtm</em> 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):<br>
<a href="http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/">http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/</a>

<h2>NOTES</h2>

SRTM tiles are of 1 degree by 1 degree size. The SRTM filename contains the
coordinates which refer to the <b>center</b> of the lower left pixel (e.g., N51E010: 
lower left cell center at 10E, 51N). To identify a tile name, a grid can be easily
visualized in the GRASS monitor:

<div class="code"><pre>
d.grid size=1
</pre></div>

To import TOPEX/SRTM30 PLUS data, use <em>r.in.bin</em>.
