TerrainBase, Global 5-Minute Ocean Depth and Land Elevation, from NGDC
Five minute resolution global ocean depth and land
surface elevation. Developed from
multiple data sources and compiled at
NGDC. Compared to the predecessor data set (ETOPO5)
TerrainBase is mostly improved in land elevations areas,
few changes were made to ocean depths.
This dataset has been superceded by a more current dataset.
A list of the most current topographic
datasets is available.
