The images were captured by ASTER, and then stitched together into a seamless map. ASTER—Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer—is the instrument taking maps of land surface temperature, reflectance and elevation flying onboard NASA’s Terra satellite. Once the Global Digital Elevation Model was complete, it was divided into 23,000 GeoTIFF file, each covering 1 x 1 degree of the globe. You can download the map here. [JPL]
