latitude-longitude grid spacing of 30 arc-seconds. The ongoing project
makes use of several data sources to attain high data quality.
Important parts were taken from GTOPO30, but there are also additional
contributions not part of GTOPO30. GLOBE provides data sets of two
levels of quality: G.O.O.D. (Globally Only Open-access Data, unrestricted
use) and B.A.D. (Best Available Data, restricted use for some regions).
More information on these issues and the data set in general can be
obtained from
Online Documentation v1.0.

Ocean data are based on the Smith and Sandwell global 2-minute grid between latitudes +/- 72 degrees. Higher resolution grids have been added from the LDEO Ridge Multibeam Synthesis Project and the NGDC Coastal Relief Model. Arctic bathymetry is from the International Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (IBCAO) [Jakobsson et al., 2003].
