Abstract

The GEBCO_2014 Grid is a global continuous terrain model for ocean and land with a spatial resolution of 30 arc-seconds. The GEBCO_2019 Grid Collection, comprises the following data types: the standard grid (ice surface elevation), and the Source Identifier Grid (SID). The GEBCO_2014 Grid Collection is available in NetCDF format only. Please note the GEBCO 2014 grid is a legacy dataset that has been superseded by more recent releases.

Data lineage:

The GEBCO_2014 grid has been generated from bathymetric data sets compiled by the Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Grid Compilation Team. The global grid has been assembled from these inputs by the Seabed 2030 Global Center, hosted by the National Oceanography Centre, UK at the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC). In 2024, these data were moved to CEDA for long-term archival.
