attribute NC_GLOBAL Southernmost_Northing double -90.0
attribute NC_GLOBAL standard_name_vocabulary String CF Standard Name Table v70
attribute NC_GLOBAL summary String One GMT file, topo15.grd, with the entire global topography. The grid resolution is 15 seconds which is roughly 0.27km at the equator. The data are pixel registered. Land data are based on the 1-km averages of topography derived from the USGS SRTM30 grided DEM data product created with data from the NASA Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (https://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/) (external link). GTOPO30 data (http://www1.gsi.go.jp/geowww/globalmap-gsi/gtopo30/gtopo30.html) (external link) are used for high latitudes where SRTM data are not available. Ocean data are based on the Smith and Sandwell global 1-minute grid (https://topex.ucsd.edu/WWW_html/mar_topo.html) (external link) between latitudes +/-81 degrees. Higher resolution grids have been added from the LDEO Ridge Multibeam Synthesis Project ( https://www.gmrt.org/ (external link) ), the JAMSTEC Data Site for Research Cruises (https://www.godac.jamstec.go.jp/darwin/e) (external link), and the NGDC Coastal Relief Model (https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/coastal/coastal.html) (external link). Arctic bathymetry is from the International Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (IBCAO) (https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/bathymetry/arctic/arctic.html) (external link) [Jakobsson et al., 2003]. Matching files of source identification number are available for determining the data source for every pixel.
