The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 project has produced a global terrain model for ocean and land. The GEBCO_2023 grid was published in April 2023 and is the fifth GEBCO grid developed through The Nippon Foundation-GEBCO Seabed 2030 Project. This is a collaborative project between the Nippon Foundation of Japan and GEBCO. The Seabed 2030 Project aims to bring together all available bathymetric data to produce the definitive map of the world ocean floor and make it available to all.

The GEBCO_2023 Grid is a continuous, global terrain model for ocean and land with a spatial resolution of 15 arc seconds. Between latitudes of 50° South and 60° North it uses version 2.5.5 of the SRTM15+ dataset as a "base". This data set is a fusion of land topography with measured and estimated seafloor topography. This version of SRTM15+ is similar to version 2.1 [Tozer et al., 2019] but includes additional data sets. It uses predicted depths based on the V32 gravity model [Sandwell et al., 2019]. The SRTM15+ base grid has been augmented with the gridded bathymetric data sets developed by the four Seabed 2030 Regional Centers to produce the GEBCO_2023 Grid. Note: SRTM15+ V2.5.5 is also available through OpenTopography here.

The information for ice-surface elevation and under-ice topography/bathymetry is taken from IceBridge BedMachine Greenland, Version 4.6 (Morlighem, M. et al. 2017) and data based on MEaSUREs BedMachine Antarctica, Version 2 (Morlighem, M. et al 2020).

NOTE: This dataset includes ice sheet topography. For a version of the dataset with under-ice topography see "GEBCO SubIceTopo" below under "Other Available Data Products".
