- Description
- Digital Terrain Elevation Data (DTED) is a US military standard for gridded terrain elevation, distributed by NGA as one-degree cells in three resolutions (level 0 in .dt0 files, level 1 in .dt1, level 2 in .dt2; some distributions name cells .dted). A cell holds 16-bit elevations in metres on WGS 84, written as 80-byte ASCII header records (UHL, DSI, ACC) followed by elevation records.
