NAME

r.in.srtm.region - Creates a DEM from 3 arcsec SRTM v2.1 or 1 arcsec SRTM v3 tiles.

KEYWORDS

raster, import, SRTM

SYNOPSIS

r.in.srtm.region
r.in.srtm.region --help
r.in.srtm.region [-n21z] output=name username=string password=string [url=string] [local=name] [region=xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax] [memory=integer] [method=string] [resolution=float] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

Flags:

-n
Fill null cells
-2
Import SRTM v2 tiles
Default: Import SRTM v3 tiles
-1
Input is a 1-arcsec tile (default: 3-arcsec)
-z
Create zero elevation for missing tiles
--overwrite
Allow output files to overwrite existing files
--help
Print usage summary
--verbose
Verbose module output

Name for output raster map
username=string [required]
Username for authentication
password=string [required]
Password for authentication
url=string

local=name
Local folder with SRTM tiles
Use local folder instead of URL to retrieve SRTM tiles
region=xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax
Import subregion only (default is current region)
Format: xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax - usually W,S,E,N
memory=integer
Memory in MB for interpolation
Default: 300
method=string
Resampling method to use for reprojection (required if location projection not longlat)
Options: nearest, bilinear, bicubic, lanczos, bilinear_f, bicubic_f, lanczos_f
nearest: nearest neighbor
bilinear: bilinear interpolation
bicubic: bicubic interpolation
lanczos: lanczos filter
bilinear_f: bilinear interpolation with fallback
bicubic_f: bicubic interpolation with fallback
lanczos_f: lanczos filter with fallback
resolution=float
Resolution of output raster map (required if location projection not longlat)

DESCRIPTION

r.in.srtm.region imports all SRTM tiles covering the current region or region extents given with region into GRASS, patches the tiles together and optionally interpolates holes for SRTM V2.1. The SRTM V003 products are already void-filled.

r.in.srtm.region downloads (SRTM product description)

Importantly, for the SRTM tiles download a user registration is needed at https://urs.earthdata.nasa.gov/users/new

In the user profile, two specific applications must be approved in the "My application" tab:

EXAMPLE

Import of SRTMGL1 V003 (1 arc seconds ~ 30m) covering the current computational region:
# run in LatLong location - Sicily East, Italy
g.region n=39 s=37 w=14 e=16 res=0:00:01 -p

# use own credentials here
r.in.srtm.region -1 user="my_nasa_user" password="my_nasa_pw" output=srtm_sicily_1arc memory=2000
r.univar srtm_sicily_1arc
