With the rapid increase of sources of DEMs today (and especially due to the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission and LIDAR-based projects), extraction of land surface parameters is becoming more and more attractive to numerous fields ranging from precision agriculture, soil-landscape modelling, climatic and hydrological applications to urban planning, education and space research.
Data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission reveals that the correct altitude of its summit is 1,440 meters, and not the previously quoted 1,380 meters.
