The model MSS95A_MIX can be found on CD-ROM. MSS95A_MIX consists of
MSS95A grid points, if bathymetry values are less than or equal to zero. Geoid heights
of a 360 degree geoid solution (Gruber, Anzenhofer, 1993) are in MSS95A_MIX, if
bathymerty data is greater than zero. The remaining undefined grid nodes are in ocean
regions, where gcidding was impossible.
