I am guessing (albeit, based on my fiddling with SRTM a long time ago) that it is an ave value of "x" meters assigned to all the pixels in the tile. In essence, a 1200 pixel-square tile is behaving like a single large pixel with a value of "x" meters.


Should be easy to confirm it by querying a few random pixels in a tile.
