The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) collected high-resolution elevation data during the February 2000 flight of the Space Shuttle Endeavour. The data are available for download and can be used in Surfer.

Surfer 9 and higher reads the SRTM BIL data files directly. You can use the BIL files in any function or command in place of a grid file.

If you are using HGT files, or Surfer 8, please follow the instructions in our newsletter article at: Using Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) Data in Surfer. Surfer does not support HGT files, and Surfer 8 does not support BIL files; however, both HGT and BIL files can be modified for use in Surfer.
