-- There are 16 tiles.  Each compressed tile is about 32 MB,
	and uncompresses to about 110 MB.

-- You can interactively obtain the GLOBE data for any specified area!

	ABSTRACT:
	The Global Land One-kilometer Base Elevation
	(GLOBE) digital elevation model is the
	most thoroughly designed, reviewed, and documented global
	digital elevation dataset to date.
	GLOBE was developed by an international group of specialists,
	cooperating with the
	Committee on Earth Observation Satellites (CEOS) Working
	Group on Information
	Systems and Services (WGISS), International
	Geosphere-Biosphere Programme's Data and
	Information System (IGBP-DIS), and IGBP Working Group IV/6.
	GLOBE comprises a
	global 30 arc-second latitude-longitude array,
	with land areas populated with integer
	elevation data. GLOBE is available on the World Wide Web,
	and on CD-ROM in a format
	convenient for image processing and raster geographic
	information systems (GIS). Full
	GLOBE documentation is available on the CD-ROM and Website.
	This paper summarizes
	some findings made during GLOBE's development.
