r.in.nasadem imports all NASADEM tiles covering the current
region or region extents given with the
region option into GRASS
and patches the tiles together.
Cited from https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/news/release-nasadem-data-products/:
"NASADEM extends the legacy of the Shuttle Radar Topography
Mission (SRTM) by improving the digital elevation model (DEM) height
accuracy and data coverage as well as providing additional SRTM
radar-related data products. The improvements were achieved by
reprocessing the original SRTM radar signal data and telemetry data
with updated algorithms and auxiliary data not available at the time of
the original SRTM processing."
In total, 14,520 NASADEM tiles are available.
r.in.nasadem imports data from
NASADEM_HGT.001,
or from a local copy of these data provided with the local option.
There are three different layers available in the
NASADEM_HGT.001
product: hgt, num, and swb, each of these
layers can be imported with r.in.nasadem with the layer
option.
Importantly, for the NASADEM tiles download a user registration is needed at
https://urs.earthdata.nasa.gov/users/new
In the earthdata user profile, two specific applications must be
approved in the "My application" tab:
- "LP DAAC Data Pool" application, and
- "Earthdata Search" application.
