Note that this is also being discussed in this topic. Not exactly the same problem, but there is significant overlap.

Bathymetry for ocean model at any resolution

I know that bathymetry has been a pain in the neck and that people have evolved artistic talent in modifying bathymetry and opening/closing channels etc. Can we collect here the accumulated knowledge so that, e.g., CliMA’s efforts (cc @glwagner) don’t need to reinvent the wheel? Is these papers documented anywhere? What we would like to be able to do is to take the ETOPO super-high resolution bathymetry and be able to coarsen it to the resolution we want to run (e.g., 2, 1, 1/2, 1/4, 1/10, 1/1…
