FAQ
GTX to HRU Conversion
What are GTX files?
GTX is a grid file used by NOAA's VDatum software to convert heights from one vertical reference to another. Heights on maps can be measured from different surfaces, such as the ellipsoid used by satellite positioning, the geoid that approximates mean sea level, or a tidal level like mean lower low water, and the difference between these surfaces changes from place to place. A file of this type covers an area with a regular net of points and stores the height difference at each of them, so that a program can add it to a measured height and obtain the value in the other system. Earlier versions were text files, while current ones are binary. The format is also used for global geoid models and for national height transformations.
What are HRU files?
The HRU file format is a bitmap image format associated with the Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT), which is a model developed through the SWAT-CUP program in Microsoft Windows. This software generates a detailed simulation model aimed to assess the result of various land management techniques in the case of large-size watersheds. HRUs represent output files containing detailed information compiled through SWAT, generally under the form of extensive tables with a large number of variables.
