Are the SRTM-UTM files in the exact same coordinates as the GeoCover Landsat imagery?
They match very well basically, but there are some differences of 30-150m in Meso-America, Eastern Africa, and Western Canada. However, the file sizes are different. The SRTM-UTM dataset has a buffer of 7.5-km around the WRS-2 tile. Also, All the GeoCover Landsat images are in UTM zone North, while the SRTM-UTM data are in UTM zone North only if the region lies in the Northern Hemisphere. For SRTM-UTM data in the Southern Hemisphere, UTM zone South was used. Most GeoTIFF-ready software can handle this seamlessly.
