The GEBCO_2008 Grid - a continuous terrain model of the global oceans and land
Abstract
The GEBCO_2008 Grid is a global continuous terrain model for ocean and land with a spatial resolution of one arc-minute. The GEBCO_2008 Grid, comprises the one minute grid in NetCDF format only, alongside accompanying terms of use and documentation. Please note that the GEBCO 2008 One Minute Grid is a legacy dataset that has been superseded by subsequent releases of the GEBCO grid.

| Data lineage: |
The GEBCO_2008 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. |
