 Just a comment on the 5 minute by minute world bathymetry. We
have been using it here for a few years now and have a few problems
with it. One it is heavily smoothed something that is particularly
noticeable on the shelf. The second thing is that there are holes
in the topography, e.g. islands in the middle of the ocean. Most
of these glitches are easily fixed but it might be of help to know
they are there. We have used this mostly in the N. Atlantic and PAcific
and do not have a 'fixed up' set for the whole world.
 Does anyone know if there is a bathymetry set at higher resolution 
out there? One at say 1 minute resolution? I know there are some 
interpolated sets of this 5 minute data but am not aware of anything
at better resolution. Any suggestions?
