Gridded Data Format:
These data files consist of three columns: longitude, latitude and value. Elevations are in meters referenced to WGS-84. Ice thickness is in meters.

Web page gridded images: The values listed above form a filled orthogonal grid at 850 meter resolution (for gravity and magnetic field intensity, 425 for ice thickness and surface elevation. Grids are smoothed using a Gaussian filter (2.125 km for surface elevation and 4.5 km for gravity, magnetic field intensity, ice thickness) and surfaced using a bicubic spline method.
