Digital Elevation Model

World elevation datasets : SRTM, ASTER, GEBCO, GMTED. STRM (30 m) is the most widely used for high resolution. There are multiple URLS to obtain SRTM ; download it from Reverb, CGIAR or remotepixel.ca. GMTED2010 (1 km) is a reference DEM for med resolution. Check GEBCO and NOAA products for bathymetry. Use IGN DEM for France.

Remote Sensing / MODIS (LPDAAC)

The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument is operating on two satellites, Terra and Aqua. It views the entire surface of the Earth every one to two days. Its detectors measure 36 spectral bands and it acquires data at three spatial resolutions: 250-m, 500-m, and 1,000-m. MODIS data are available through Land Processes Distributed Active Archive Center (LP DAAC) at https://lpdaac.usgs.gov/
