Geosyst., 10, Q03014, doi: 10.1029/2008GC002332 Extraction of the GMRT grid for the Caribbean region of EMODnet bathymetry. The extraction is updated in June 2024. GMRT overview from https://www.gmrt.org/about/index.php The Global Multi-Resolution Topography (GMRT) Synthesis is a multi-resolution Digital Elevation Model (DEM) maintained in three projections and managed with a scalable global architecture that offers infrastructure for accessing the DEM as grids, images, points and profiles. A mask layer is available that highlights the location of high-resolution data. Most curatorial effort for GMRT is focused on cleaning and processing ship-based multibeam sonar data acquired by the US Academic Research Fleet (ARF) so they can be gridded at their full spatial resolution (~100m in the deep sea). These data are seamlessly overlain on lower resolution observed and predicted bathymetry data and are integrated with terrestrial elevation data to deliver to users the best resolution data that have been curated for a particular area area of interest.

The DTM is produced with Kongsberg multibeam echosounder survey, acquired in March 2020 by Marine Research Ltd. The resolution is 1/256 arc-minutes (~7.2m). It is located at 23 August, Romania, on the coastal region of the Black Sea. Depths are referenced to the Local Sea Level - Marea Neagra 1975 and the coordinates are expressed into the WGS84 reference frame.
