This historical dataset is recommended for ancillary use only and not as a primary research dataset. It has likely been superseded by a newer, improved dataset.

Abstract:

Five arc-minute resolution global ocean depth and land surface elevation. Developed from multiple data sources and compiled at the US National Geophysical Data Center. Compared to the predecessor data set, ETOPO5, TerrainBase is mostly improved in land elevations areas, few changes were made to ocean depths.

Citation counts are compiled through information provided by publicly-accessible APIs according to the guidelines developed through the https://makedatacount.org/ project. If journals do not provide citation information to these publicly-accessible services, then this citation information will not be included in RDA citation counts. Additionally citations that include dataset DOIs are the only types included in these counts, so legacy citations without DOIs, references found in publication acknowledgements, or references to a related publication that describes a dataset will not be included in these counts.
