Geospatial covariate data layers Covariates / SRTM-based elevation per country 2000 / Colombia 100m. Covariates

Colombia 100m. Covariates
SRTM elevation 2000, Colombia

The dataset is available to download in Geotiff format at a resolution of 3 arc-second (approximately 100m at the equator). The projection is Geographic Coordinate System, WGS84.
The value of each grid cell represents its elevation above the sea level (in meters).

Filenames: Example - col_srtm_topo_100m.tif represents SRTM elevation 2000 in Colombia
