The grid has a cell size of 0.005 degrees.

A report outlining the development of this grid is available for download (see the related url below). This grid was then merged with the bathymetric grid described by the metadata record 'Bathymetric Grid of Heard Island - Kerguelen Plateau Region (2005)', which covers the region 68E to 80E and 48S to 56S. Hence the final grid has two 'No data' areas between 48.45S to 55S: 60E to 68E and 80E to 90E. The final grid is available for download as a geotiff and ArcInfo ascii file and contours derived from the grid are available for download as a shapefile (see the related urls below).&rft.creator=LEON, JAVIER &rft.creator=SEXTON, MIKE &rft.creator=WOODROFFE, COLIN &rft.date=2008&rft.coverage=northlimit=-48.45; southlimit=-70; westlimit=60; eastLimit=90; projection=WGS84&rft.coverage=northlimit=-48.45; southlimit=-70; westlimit=60; eastLimit=90; projection=WGS84&rft_rights=This data set conforms to the CCBY Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
