Summary
Abstract: ABSTRACT: Two-minute gridded global relief for both ocean and land areas are available in the ETOPO2v2 (2006) database. ETOPO2v2 replaced ETOPO2 (2001). The historic 2-minute (ETOPO2v2) and 5-minute (ETOPO5) data are deprecated, but still available. Please use the new ETOPO1 Global Gridded Relief Model.
