Data sources
The ETOPO5 data may be credited in publications by reference to "Data Announcement 88-MGG-02, Digital relief of the Surface of the Earth. NOAA, National Geophysical Data Center, Boulder, Colorado, 1988." The version of the data making up ETOPO5 is from May, 1988, with the exception of a small area in Canada (120-130 W, 65-70 N), which was regridded in 1990.

Additional information
The resolution of the gridded data varies from true 5-minute for the ocean floors, the USA., Europe, Japan,and Australia to 1 degree in data-deficient parts of Asia, South America, northern Canada, and Africa. Data sources are as follows: Ocean Areas: US Naval Oceanographic Ofice; USA., W. Europe, Japan/Korea: US Defense Mapping Agency; Australia: Bureau of Mineral Resources, Australia; New Zealand: Department of Industrial and Scientific Research, New Zealand; balance of world land masses: US Navy Fleet Numerical Oceanographic Center. These various data bases were originally assembled in 1988 into the worldwide 5-minute grid by Margo Edwards, then at Washington University, St. Louis, MO.
