30m ASTER GDEM V3 elevation data in Southwest China


ASTER GDEM data is jointly developed by METI of Japan and NASA of the United States and distributed to the public free of charge. ASTER GDEM data products are calculated and generated based on the data of "Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Anti radiometer (ASTER)", which is the only high-resolution elevation image data covering the global land surface at present. The product has a spatial resolution of 30m. At present, there are three versions of ASTER GDEM V1, ASTER GDEM V2 and ASTER GDEM V3. On August 5, 2019, NASA and METI jointly released the ASTER GDEM V3 version. On the basis of V2, 360000 optical stereo image pair data were added, mainly used to reduce the blank area of elevation value and the numerical anomaly of water area.


File naming and required software

The dataset is stored in GeoTiff format, and the file is named ASTGTMV003_ NNEE.tif, where V003 represents version 3, NN represents latitude, and EE represents longitude.
The data can be directly read by gis software such as arcgis, or by programming languages such as matlab and python.
