[Gdal-dev] Bathymetry data...

[IMD Listuser]

Greetings all

I would like to be able to use a global bathymetric data set stored in a
format which I am unfamiliar with and wondering if GDAL supports it.

The url to the data set is:
ftp://topex.ucsd.edu/pub/global_topo_2min/

The file is topo_8.2.img and there appears to be a header
topo_8.2.img.ers which refers to an ERStaorage format. Ive tried using
gdalinfo to retrieve info about the file, but I receive an error to the
effect of 'not an HFA file'.

Ideally I would like to move this data into GeoTIFF format.

Any ideas, suggestions, or advice.

Thanks

Charlie
