It is based on seafloor depths from ship soundings, and where there are no soundings, depths are interpolated using estimates from satellite altimetry as a guide. The global grid is periodically updated by incorporating additional bathymetric survey data, new compilations, and improved data.
The Cook Book is divided into three main sections "Gridding Examples" written for beginning users desiring to straightaway produce a grid from xyz data, "Fundamentals" which gives a more in-depth look at topics related to preparing, processing, and gridding xyz data, and "Advanced Topics" which contains discussions more .....
