# Quick exploration and file listing-based comparison of the CGIAR SRTM
2
# tiles available in the following places:
3
#
4
#   - those downloaded by Ming
5
#       jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu:~organisms/SRTM_90m_ASCII_v4.1/
6
#
7
#   - those downloaded by Rick
8
#       jupiter.nceas.ucsb.edu:~organisms/CgiarSrtmAll/5_5x5_ascii/
9
#
10
#   - those currently available at CGIAR (ASCII format)
11
#       ftp://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/SRTM_v41/SRTM_Data_ArcASCII/

13
# Note that in addition to the comparisons made below, I also noticed
14
# that a few timestamps on zips Ming downloaded are newer than the
15
# timestamps on the CGIAR ftp site. It appears that these are bad zips
16
# on the CGIAR site; in subsequent email exchange with Ming, he said he
17
# believes he replaced them by downloading the corresponding GeoTIFFs
18
# from CGIAR and converting them to ASCII.
