RESULTS - OROGRAPHY OVER EUROPE

COST 726 OROGRAPHY over Europe
( 25°E to 35°W and 30°N to 80°N )
 

Description
- assembled from ESRA TerrainBase.bin ~ NASA Topo05
- orography equals the altitude average of -6 to +5 columns and -6 to +5 rows of TerrainBase around the COST726 Pixel
- minimum altitude of a land pixel is +1 m a.s.l., a sea pixel has the altitude 0 m (land / sea mask)
- COST726 pixel with more than 72 sea pixel of TerrainBase are set to 0. m a.s.l.

The file is identically formatted as the COST726 ozone and CMF files (date is = 0 0 0) Data format:
The file (*.txt) contains gridded (1x1 degrees in latitude and longitude) data provided by Henning Staiger.
The grid dimensions are 61x50 covering longitudes 25W-35E and latitudes 80N-31N in a regular lat-lon grid with 1 degree spacing.

Usage
