Fatiando a Terra Data: Earth - Geoid height grid at 10 arc-minute resolution

<p>Global 10 arc-minute resolution grids of geoid height with respect to the WGS84 ellipsoid.</p> <p><strong>Note:</strong> This is a processed and formatted version of the source dataset below. It&#39;s meant for use in documentation and tutorials of the <a href="https://www.fatiando.org">Fatiando a Terra</a> project. Please <strong>cite the original authors</strong> when using this dataset.</p> <p><strong>Changes made: </strong>Convert the grid from the ASCII format of ICGEM to CF-compliant netCDF. Add relevant metadata, including names, units, datum, etc. Fix grid coordinates to be generated by <code>numpy.linspace</code> instead <code>numpy.arange</code> (or the equivalent used by ICGEM internally) to guarantee equal spacing to a higher accuracy. Export to compressed netCDF.</p> <p><strong>Source: </strong><a href="https://doi.org/10.5880/icgem.2015.1">EIGEN-6C4</a> spherical harmonic model (generated by the <a href="http://icgem.gfz-potsdam.de/home">ICGEM calculation service</a>)</p> <p><strong>Source license: </strong><a href="https://doi.org/10.5880/icgem.2015.1">CC-BY</a></p> <p><strong>Repository: </strong><a href="https://github.com/fatiando-data/earth-geoid-10arcmin">https://github.com/fatiando-data/earth-geoid-10arcmin</a></p>
