TLDR
GMT is a public domain collection of UNIX tools that contains programs to manipulate (x,y,z) data and to generate PostScript illustrations, including simple x-y diagrams, contour maps, color images, and artificially illuminated, perspective, shaded-relief plots using a variety of map projections.Abstract:
An updated, new version (3.0) of the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) has just been released. GMT is a public domain collection of UNIX tools that contains programs to manipulate (x,y) and (x,y,z) data and to generate PostScript illustrations, including simple x-y diagrams, contour maps, color images, and artificially illuminated, perspective, shaded-relief plots using a variety of map projections [Wessel and Smith, 1991]. GMT has been installed on super computers, workstations and personal computers, all running some flavor of UNIX. We estimate that approximately 5000 scientists worldwide are currently using GMT in their work.read more

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present and interpret GPS measurements of crustal motions for the period 1988-1997 at 189 sites extending east-west from the Caucasus mountains to the Adriatic Sea and north-south from the southern edge of the Eurasian plate to the northern edge of Africa.

Marine gravity anomaly from Geosat and ERS 1 satellite altimetry
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of high-density data from the dense mapping phases of Geosat and ERS 1 along with lower-density but higher-accuracy profiles from their repeat orbit phases is used to construct gravity anomalies from the two vertical deflection grids.

A global ocean carbon climatology: Results from Global Data Analysis Project (GLODAP)
Robert M. Key,Alexander Kozyr,Christopher L. Sabine,Kitack Lee,Rik Wanninkhof,John L. Bullister,Richard A. Feely,Frank J. Millero,Calvin W. Mordy,Tsung-Hung Peng +9 more
TL;DR: The Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAP) as mentioned in this paper uses ocean sampling data from the World Ocean Circulation Experiment (WOCE), the Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS), and the Ocean Atmosphere Carbon Exchange Study (OACES) to produce objectively gridded property maps at a 1° resolution on 33 depth surfaces chosen to match existing climatologies for temperature, salinity, oxygen, and nutrients.

Free software helps map and display data
Paul Wessel,Walter H. F. Smith +1 more
TL;DR: The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) is introduced, which is a free, public domain software package that can be used to manipulate columns of tabular data, time series, and gridded data sets and to display these data in a variety of forms ranging from simple x-y plots to maps and color, perspective, and shaded-relief illustrations.
