SRTM Data Availability 1-arc second (30 meter) SRTM data of the continental US available via the USGS EDC Seamless Distribution System Up to 30 degree squares of raster data (1.6 gigabytes), in 100 megabyte sized files, can be downloaded at no charge. As new 3-arc second (~90 meter) international continental datasets are available, USGS will distribute via the Seamless Data Distribution System - Enhanced. Higher resolution (30 meter) international data are available via special request (?) 14-Oct-14 GEO327G/386G, UT Austin 20
