ETOPO

🔍 Comprehensive

There are several different options of choice for you, be it resolution, or surface-type from which the topography is measured.

🌍 Topography of Interest

You don't have to download the global topography, only for your (Geo)Region of interest, saving you time and disk space for small domains.

🏔️ LandSea Mask

Is it Land or is it Ocean? Currently we use the topographic height to determine this feature, but more updates are on the way!

Introduction ​

ETOPO.jl is a lightweight Julia package that builds upon the GeoRegions Ecosystem, and in particular LandSea.jl, to download the ETOPO topographical datasets.

Installation Instructions ​

The latest version of ETOPO can be installed using the Julia package manager (accessed by pressing ] in the Julia command prompt)

julia
julia> ]
(@v1.10) pkg> add ETOPO

You can update ETOPO.jl to the latest version using

julia
(@v1.10) pkg> update ETOPO

And if you want to get the latest release without waiting for me to update the Julia Registry (although this generally isn't necessary since I make a point to release patch versions as soon as I find bugs or add new working features), you may fix the version to the main branch of the GitHub repository:

julia
(@v1.10) pkg> add ETOPO#main
