HydroSHEDS : The Hydrological data and maps based on SHuttle Elevation Derivatives at multiple Scales.
Entry ID:
WWF_HS
Summary
Abstract:
HydroSHEDS is a mapping product that provides hydrographic information for
regional and global-scale applications in a consistent format. It offers a suite of geo-referenced data sets (vector and raster) at various scales, including river networks, watershed boundaries, drainage directions, and flow accumulations. HydroSHEDS is based on high-resolution elevation data obtained during a Space Shuttle flight for NASA's Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) (Source: HydroSHEDS).

Quality
Differences between the LANCE NRT and standard products are currently under investigation. Known, but not yet quantified, differences include
• the ephemeris files (LANCE uses predicted ephemeris and standard products use definitive ephemeris) and • standard product generation includes more sophisticated, dynamic cross calibration and ...
