DTED(Digital Terrain Elevation Data) represents a matrix or grid of measured elevation posts over a portion of the earth's surface. The elevation posts are spaced at regular horizontal intervals, measured in Geographic Lat/Long [latitude/longitude] units, with vertical elevation values in meters. Each row of elevation posts is sometimes termed a profile. DTED elevations are in meters, rounded off to the nearest whole meter and stored as signed 2-byte(16-bit) digital numbers. 2, record 1, English, - digital%20terrain%20elevation%20data
