EXTRACT XYZ GRID - TOPOGRAPHY OR GRAVITY

Extract topography or gravity data from global 1-minute grids in ASCII XYZ-format. Latitude range is +/- 80.738. Topography is V12.1 and Gravity is V18.1.

Note that odd values of topography (e.g., -2001m) are constrained by actual soundings while even values (e.g., -2000m) are predicted from gravity. Therefore one can extract the locations of the ship sounding.

EXAMPLE
-10.1
359.5 360
-13
(Any values between -360 and 360 are acceptable)

Note the program cannot span 0 longitude.
Also, these files can get quite large, so you may have to divide the area up into smaller chunks.
