TOPODATA Project INPE\TOPODATA project offers free access to local geomorphometric variables derived from SRTM data, throughout the entire Brazilian territory. The refined data was derived with geomorphometric analyses algorithms to calculate slope (steepness), slope direction, plan curvature and profile curvature. In addition to these, a second order derivation was applied to enhance thalweg and divides, which were overlaid on a slope direction presentation, as input for the interpretation of drainage features and structure.

The Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) obtained elevation data on a near-global scale to generate the most complete high-resolution digital topographic database of Earth. SRTM consisted of a specially modified radar system that flew onboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour during an 11-day mission in February of 2000. SRTM is an international project spearheaded by the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (
