<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>

<em>r.in.srtm</em> imports SRTM HGT files into GRASS.

SRTM Version 1 and improved Version 2 data sets can be downloaded from 
NASA at this site:<br>
<a href="http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/">http://dds.cr.usgs.gov/srtm/</a>

<p>
Gap-filled SRTM Version 3 data can be downloaded from USGS at this site:<br>
<a href="https://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MEASURES/SRTMGL3.003/2000.02.11/">https://e4ftl01.cr.usgs.gov/MEASURES/SRTMGL3.003/2000.02.11/</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 by <em><a href="d.grid.html">d.grid</a></em>:

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

To import TOPEX/SRTM30 PLUS data, use <em><a href="r.in.bin.html">r.in.bin</a></em>.
