GEBCO bathymetric data sets — GEBCO_08 Grid

Errata

Bathymetry data for the Northeast Atlantic from the GEBCO_08 Grid ©

The GEBCO_08 Grid gives global coverage of gridded bathymetry data at 30 arc-second intervals.

The grid was generated by combining quality-controlled ship depth soundings with interpolation between sounding points guided by satellite-gravity derived data. The land data are largely taken from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM30) data set.

Before release, numerous checks were carried out on the grid, however, it may still contain some artifacts created during the gridding process. A list of reported bugs will be included on this page.

If you find any bugs in the data set that are not reported on this page then please contact Pauline Weatherall the GEBCO Digital Atlas manager.

For ease, the reported problems have been divided into the following areas

North Atlantic | South Atlantic | North Pacific | South Pacific | Indian Ocean | Mediterranean Sea| other areas
