Mandatory

Inherited L0

The GEBCO Type Identifier (TID) is used to identify the source data type that the corresponding grid cell in the bathymetric grid (see https://www.gebco.net/data_and_products/gridded_bathymetry_data/gebco_2021/)
The aim is to allow users to assess the ‘quality’ of the grid in a particular area, i.e. if it is based on multibeam data, singlebeam data or on interpolation, etc. TID 11 = Multibeam - depth value collected by a multibeam echo-sounder
