The dataset was downloaded in late 2008 from the NOAA website,
with a longitude box from 70W to 55W and a latitude box from 43N to
53N, using the ETOPO1 database, which has 1-minute resolution in
latitude and longitude, and 0.1m resolution in the vertical. The
data were downloaded with an ascii header and ascii-raster format,
so that read.topo
could handle the resultant
downloaded file without modification.
