This global map was realized by merging a bathymetry model and the Altimetry Corrected Elevations (ACE). For the ocean, the global bathymetry was constructed by blending depth soundings collected from ships with detailed gravity anomaly information obtained from the Geosat (US Navy) and ERS-1/2 (ESA) satellite altimetry missions. For the land elevation, database of ERS-1 satellite altimeter were reprocessed.
