Help for GET_ELV
PURPOSE
Reads the ETOPO2 and SRTM datasets to get an elevation. The ETOPO2 is a
coarse (2 minute) map of the world. This program uses a version without
bathymetry (ocean depth, etc.) so ocean lon-lats yield 0.
Both data sets read out in MSL or EGM96 (geoid). The routine then converts
these to the WGS84 spheroid (as a vertical datum).
CALL

WHERE:
lon is the longitude
lat is the latitude
