This function queries the Open-Elevation API web service for ground elevations. The web service uses the SRTM 250 digital elevation database, which results from the NASA Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) and has a resolution of 250 m at the equator.
Key features:
  • Requires an internet connection to function properly.
  • Works without the need for an API token.
  • Accepts both 1D and 2D numeric arrays.
  • Handles large queries by dividing them into smaller batches.
