[gdal-dev] SRTM30+ Version 3.0 as GeoTIF?

[Rich Signell]

GDAL folks,

Does anyone have the SRTM30+ Version 3.0 global topography as a single
GeoTIF, or even better, a script for taking the *.strm files at:
ftp://topex.ucsd.edu/pub/srtm30_plus/data
and producing such a global GeoTIF?

This 30 arc second global topography combines SRTM30 land topographhy
with Smith & Sandwell  + NOAA Coastal Relief Model + a growing number
of high resolution coastal ocean bathymetry to create one of the best
worldwide bathymetric grids available.  Details are at:
http://topex.ucsd.edu/WWW_html/srtm30_plus.html

Nearly two years ago, I got Version 1.0 of this dataset as a GeoTIFF
via geotorrent.org (which seems to no longer be functioning, BTW), and
I'm assuming it was made using GDAL.   But I am having a hard time
finding a GeoTIF version of Version 3.0.

They will soon be coming out with a version 4.0, so it would be great
to have the script for doing the conversion available.

If someone has the script, I volunteer to work with the UCSD guys so
that they can provide GeoTIFFs as new versions of SRTM30+ become
available.
