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.
