Bug in the index file for SRTM_topo_3s

[wcheng]

I noticed that there is a slight shift in the terrain in SRTM_topo_3s. I am using the
database on cheyenne:

/glade/work/wrfhelp/WPS_GEOG

I assume it's in the repo too.

I found that the index file should be as follows to make things right.

You can see the attached figure as proof. The terrain is shifted south
of Nepal in the SRTM_topo_3s which is not in the 30s terrain.
