Overview
Title
Elevation of Latin America and Caribbean.
Abstract
Elevation data from USGS GTOPO30 Digital Dataset. GTOPO30 is a global digital elevation model (DEM) with a horizontal grid spacing of 30 arc seconds (approximately 1 kilometer). GTOPO30 was derived from several raster and vector sources of topographic information. Detailed information on the characteristics of GTOPO30 including the data distribution format, the data sources, production methods, accuracy, and hints for users, is found in the GTOPO30 README file. GTOPO30, completed in late 1996, was developed over a three year period through a collaborative effort led by staff at the U.S. Geological Survey's EROS Data Center (EDC). Data-set has been exported as Binary format.
Purpose
The farming systems presented in this study are considered to provide an effective broad framework for the prioritisation of development actions and investments for accelerating agricultural development, particularly in ways which can reduce rural poverty and hunger.
