Notes

Coverage roughly 60°N–56°S land. Citation strongly urged even though CC0.
Prefer over scraping Google/Bing elevation — see docs/high-risk.md.
Entry url moved to the Earthdata catalog on 2026-09-22 after a link check; the LP DAAC product page redirects there. Domain move only, no license re-check that day.
