GLOBE: Download the Elevation Tiles
"Right-Click" on a tile, then "save link as..." to grab the data
Tiles are compressed tar files which can be extracted either with:
- WinZip (be sure the "TAR file smart CR/LF conversion" option is NOT checked under Options/Configuration/Miscellaneous) or with GZIP.
- Compressed data tiles are 6 to 32 MB (except tile I=>165 KB & tile G=>59 MB).
- Uncompressed data tiles are either 103,680,000 bytes (tiles touching the poles; A D and M P) or 129,600,000 bytes (tiles touching the Equator; E L).
