Summary Contact Technical specs In/Output Process Testing Other Component info Also known as Topography, bmi-topography Model type Tool Model part of larger framework Note on status model Date note status model Incorporated models or components: Spatial dimensions 2D Spatial extent Global, Continental, Regional-Scale, Landscape-Scale, Watershed-Scale Model domain Terrestrial, Hydrology, Coastal, Geodynamic, Climate, Ecosystems, Cryosphere, Human dimensions One-line model description A CSDMS data component used to fetch and cache NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) land elevation data using the OpenTopography REST API. Extended model description Topography is a Python library to fetch and cache NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) land elevation data using the OpenTopography REST API. The Topography library provides access to the following global raster datasets: SRTM GL3 (90m) SRTM GL1 (30m) SRTM GL1 (Ellipsoidal) The library includes an API and CLI that accept the dataset type, a latitude-longiture bounding box, and the output file format. Data are downloaded from OpenTopography and cached locally. The cache is checked before downloading new data. Data from a cached file can optionally be loaded into an xarray DataArray using the experimental open_rasterio method.

Yes If above answer is no, provide end year model development Code development status Active When did you indicate the 'code development status'? 2021 Model availability As code Source code availability (Or provide future intension) Through web repository Source web address https://github.com/csdms/bmi-topography Source csdms web address Program license type BSD or MIT X11 Program license type other Memory requirements Data are downloaded directly to a file, so memory use is minimal. Optionally, the data can be loaded into a Python session, in which case, memory use scales with the size of the data. Typical run time Describe input parameters See documentation: https://bmi-topography.readthedocs.io Input format ASCII Other input format Describe output parameters See documentation: https://bmi-topography.readthedocs.io Output format Binary Other output format Pre-processing software needed? No Describe pre-processing software Post-processing software needed? No Describe post-processing software Visualization software needed? No If above answer is yes Other visualization software Describe processes represented by the model Describe key physical parameters and equations Describe length scale and resolution constraints Describe time scale and resolution constraints Describe any numerical limitations and issues Describe available calibration data sets Upload calibration data sets if available: Describe available test data sets Upload test data sets if available: Describe ideal data for testing Do you have current or future plans for collaborating with other researchers?
