GEBCO Grid display
The GEBCO Grid display software allows you to view and access data from the GEBCO One Minute Grid — a global bathymetric grid with a one arc-minute spacing. It is available to download under licence.
Please note that the software is designed for use with the complete, global GEBCO One Minute Grid file. It will not work with subsets of the full global data set.
It provides the means for displaying the data and accessing the data in a simple ASCII format as well as netCDF.
The software has been developed by BODC to run on a PC operating under Microsoft Windows 95 or later. It is controlled by a series of drop-down menus and toolbar buttons.
