The World. February 2000 - This image of the world was generated with data
February 2000 - This image of the world was generated with data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The SRTM Project has recently released a new global data set called SRTM30, where the original one arcsecond of latitude and longitude resolution (about 30 meters, or 98 feet, at the equator) was reduced to 30 arcseconds (about 928 meters, or 1496 feet.) This image was created from that data set and shows the world between 60 degrees south and 60 degrees north latitude, covering 80% of the Earths land mass. The image is in the Mercator Projection commonly used for maps of the world.
Two visualization methods were combined to produce the image: shading and color coding of topographic height. The shade image was derived by computing topographic slope in the northwest-southeast direction, so that northwest slopes appear bright and southeast slopes appear dark. Color coding is directly related to topographic height, with green at the lower elevations, rising through yellow and tan, to white at the highest elevations

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the world as it appeared in February 2000, using data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM). The SRTM Project recently released a new global data set called SRTM30, which provided a detailed image of the Earth's land mass. In this particular image, we can see the world between 60 degrees south and 60 degrees north latitude, covering an impressive 80% of our planet's land. To create this visually striking representation, two visualization methods were combined: shading and color coding of topographic height. The shade image was generated by calculating topographic slope in the northwest-southeast direction. As a result, northwest slopes appear bright while southeast slopes appear dark. Additionally, color coding is directly linked to topographic height - green represents lower elevations and gradually transitions through yellow and tan until reaching white at the highest elevations. Displayed in Mercator Projection commonly used for world maps, this print showcases both the beauty and complexity of our planet's diverse landscapes. It serves as a reminder of Earth's vastness and highlights its natural wonders from towering mountain ranges to sprawling plains.
