I am trying to determine the highest resolution data source I can use for Earth elevation / height maps. I can use a WMS, tile server, or whatever else exists, but the height data needs to be high-precision, as this will be used for 3D rendering in a game engine. I would expect the height data to be in 32-bit float, 16-bit float, or maybe a 16 or 32 bit unsigned integer pixel format.
I am expecting the projection method will probably be one where it wraps around the equator, up and down 60 degrees, and then uses two flat projections for the north and south poles.
I am looking for something with multiple resolutions if that is available, otherwise it is possible for me to create my own LODs if I have to.
What data source should I be looking at?
