Brief description
The 1 second Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) derived smoothed Digital Elevation Model (DEM-S) Version 1.0 is a 1 arc second (~30m) gridded smoothed version of the DEM (ANZCW0703013355). The DEM-S represents ground surface topography, excluding vegetation features, and has been smoothed to reduce noise and improve the representation of surface shape. The dataset was derived from the 1 second Digital Elevation Model Version 1.0 (DSM; ANZCW0703013336) by an adaptive smoothing process that applies more smoothing in flatter areas than hilly areas, and more smoothing in noisier areas than in less noisy areas. This DEM-S supports calculation of local terrain shape attributes such as slope, aspect and curvatures that could not be reliably derived from the unsmoothed DEM because of noise. A full description of the methods is in progress (Gallant et al., in prep) and in the User Guide (Geoscience Australia & CSIRO, 2010).Lineage
