Digital Elevation Model of the Altai Mountains, Nemegt basin / Nemegt hotgor (Optimus / Power Red / SAT)

The presented image is a visualization of a digital elevation model (DEM) of the Altai Mountains and vicinity (Big Altai Mountains, Altai Mts). This is the result of the interpretation of the land surface radar mapping data (Shuttle Radar Topography Mission, SRTM Version 4, 2008, ) and its subsequent processing using the ArcGIS Desktop v10.3.0. Esri Inc., application tools and also using a graphical editor.

	v2018. Comment
A realistic image of the territory of the Eastern Gobi was obtained on the basis of the addition of the data of thematic layers - the base image and the generalized image of Landsat MS (Multispectral Landsat), which well conveys the contrast and heterogeneity of rocks emerging to the surface.

	v2019. Comment
1. Several versions of the image created based on the combination of Operational Land Imager (OLI) Landsat images are provided
2. New realistic image of the East Gobi surface obtained from the addition of these thematic layers.
3. Added to the original composite image of the surface - the names of large landforms and their high-altitude marks, the names and extra-mastabic red icons in the form of a tyrannosaurus image show the main deposits of paleontological objects.
