<TITLE>srtm plus format and European bathymetry</TITLE>

<BODY>
<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Ultimately, I'm trying to locate bathymetry off the coast of Europe to create a DEM of Pleistocene Europe during times of low sea level (i.e., -300m). <BR>
<BR>
Following the FreeGIS.org link off the GRASS download data page, I found a site with "STRM30 plus" that combine 1km SRTM with bathymetry <a href="ftp://topex.ucsd.edu/pub/srtm30_plus/data"><ftp://topex.ucsd.edu/pub/srtm30_plus/data></a>. This seems just what I need. However, I can't figure out the format or how to import it into GRASS. The files show up like " w020n90.Bathmetry.srtm". I've tried r.in.gdal and r.in.strm to no avail. I thought maybe the files were compressed and tried to uncompress them without luck.<BR>
<BR>
Can anyone suggest what to do with these files? And barring that, any suggestions for an alternative site of bathymetry I can patch into my Europe map?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks<BR>
