NASA just does not make it easy for people. If you wanted to use the SRTM data, you just opened up an FTP connection and got the tiles you needed. So many hoops here and only 100 tiles at a time! If only they can get with the times and just make a torrent. This way they don’t have to keep worrying about server issues.
The easiest way is using FTP.

Hasil download terdiri dari 2 file / tile, yaitu ….._num.tif dan ….._dem.tif Mohon penjelasan lebih lanjut perbedaan atau kegunaan dari masing-masing file tsb? Yang saya tahu, kedua file tsb memberikan hasil yang berbeda saat digunakan untuk membuat garis kontur (dengan proses yang sama).
Terimakasih
_num.tif adalah file QA (Quality Assessment) yang menerangkan file DEM. File QA ditujukan untuk menginformasikan jumlah scene DEM yang digunakan untuk membuat GDEM atau sumber pengisi anomali.
- Kalau nilai QA positif, misal 1, 2, 3, dsb berarti menunjukan jumlah scene yang digunakan untuk membuat DEM
- Kalau nilai QA negatif berarti nilai-nilai pixel tersebut diisi dari sumber DEM yang lain. Indexnya dapat dilihat di file README. Misalnya kalau -1 berarti data diambil dari SRTM V3, -2 berarti data diambil dari SRTM V2, dsb.
