Topography
SRTM provides topography data on a global
scale.
30 m resolution in North-American continent
90 m resolution for the rest of the world.
SRTM also provides a detailed database of
coastlines (in shp format)
SRTM contains also data with negative
value of topography near the coast.
None of these points are taken into account
