The SRTM dataset is of excellent quality, however it only covers latitudes from 60 N to -56 S.
This can cause the OpenAthena software to fail to function at higher latitudes. Notable areas not covered by SRTM include:
Most of the state of Alaska
Greenland
Iceland
Norway
Sweden
Finland
Northern Canada
Russian Siberia
In cases where latitude is out of bounds of the SRTM dataset, OpenAthena should use the Copernicus GLO-30 DEM instead.
This dataset was generated by the German TanDEM-X satellite mission using SAR. This is very similar to the SRTM mission, however the shorter wavelength of X band compared to C band radar means it will penetrate less vegetation (making it more of a digital surface model rather than DTM)
Vertical datum of GLO-30 is EGM2008 rather than EGM96. We should consider using Android's new AltitudeConverter class for converting vertical datum to WGS84:
