TerrainBase, Global 5 Arc-minute Ocean Depth and Land Elevation from the US National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC)

Five arc-minute resolution global ocean depth and land surface elevation. Developed from multiple data sources and compiled at the US National Geophysical Data Center. Compared to the predecessor data set, ETOPO5, TerrainBase is mostly improved in land elevations areas, few changes were made to ocean depths.
