Subject: Re: GISList: Import USGS DEM to GIRD in ArcGIS 8.1.2
Date:  06/19/2003 12:30:00 AM
From:  Christopher Auricht



You can refer to
http://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/0700/files/gtopo30.pdf

However the following may help....
A GTOPO30 DEM will be downloaded as a tar file which can be unzipped using
Winzip 6.2 or higher. This tar file contains a number of files including a
*.dem and *.hdr. Both are required this method to be accomplished
successfully.
Notes:
If using winzip to uncompress make sure that the option (under the
options > configuration > Misc tabs) for 'TAR File Smart CR/LF conversion
is unchecked.

FOR ARCVIEW 3.x:
1. Change the *.dem to *.bil
2. In Arcview, add the *.bil as an image to a view
3. Convert the image to a grid (Menu options or Avenue)
4. Perform a map calculation on the resulting grid and use the following
code where in_grid is the grid created in step 3:
([in_grid] >= 32768).con([in_grid] - 65536, [in_grid])
5. In order to set the ocean areas to null, perform a map calculation and
use the following code where Map Calculation 1 is the grid created in step 4:
([Map Calculation 1] = -9999).setnull([Map Calculation 1])

The resulting grid will have elevation values in meters and map units in
decimal degrees
FOR ARC/INFO:
Convert the *.bil using the IMAGEGRID command and use the following GRID
statement (step 4 above):
out_grid = con(in_grid >= 32768, in_grid - 65536, in_grid)
The -9999 ocean values in the grid can then be set to NODATA with the
SETNULL function.
