Summary

Abstract: ABSTRACT: GLOBE is a project to develop the best available 30-arc-second (nominally 1 kilometer) global digital elevation data set. This version of GLOBE contains data from 11 sources, and 17 combinations of source and lineage. It continues much in the tradition of the National Geophysical Data Center's TerrainBase (FGDC 1090), as TerrainBase served as a generally lower-resolution prototype of ...

Purpose: PURPOSE: Provide Topographic Data for Scientific, Technical, and other Applications
