MERIT DEM now available for download in MRR format

The MERIT DEM is a global scale terrain DEM at 3 arcsecond resolution with coverage from 60 degrees South to 90 degrees North. So, it excludes Antarctica but includes the Northern Latitudes, which is a considerable improvement over similar DEM’s derived from Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data. It was developed by Dai Yamazaki at the University of Tokyo.
