common topographic format, at scale 1:1 million, for the partner countries
Argentina, China, Cuba, Senegal and The Gambia, South Africa and Tunisia. The
SRTM-DEM based GIS-procedures and definitions of the terrain-mapping units are
described, together with the first outputs of applied procedures for the partner
countries.
