Detailed Description

Query OGC WCS web services provided by Geoscience Australia (http://www.ga.gov.au/data-pubs/web-services/ga-web-services) for digital elevation model (DEM) data.

Will get '1 second SRTM Digital Elevation Model of Australia' by default, see –help for other choices.

Pre conditions

Configuration file must define the following sections and values: 'GDAL/OGR', 'PATH_OF_GDAL_WARP'
The following metadata entry(ies) must be present in the study area section of the metadata associated with the project directory: bbox_wgs84

Post conditions

Will write the following entry(ies) to the manifest section of metadata associated with the project directory: dem [the name of the DEM raster]
Will write the following entry(ies) to the study area section of metadata associated with the project directory: dem_res_x [X resolution of the DEM raster in units of the raster's projection] dem_res_y [Y resolution of the DEM raster in units of the raster's projection] dem_srs [spatial reference system of the DEM, in EPSG:<nnnn> format] dem_columns [number of pixels in the X direction] dem_rows [number of pixels in the Y direction]

Usage:

1 GetGAAustraliaDEMForBoundingbox.py -p /path/to/project_dir -s 3 3

Note: EcohydroLib configuration file must be specified by environmental variable 'ECOHYDROWORKFLOW_CFG', or -i option must be specified.; If option -t is not specified, UTM projection (WGS 84 coordinate system) will be inferred from bounding box center.
