The grids are downloaded to a user data directory (usually ``~/.gmt/``) the first time you invoke this function. Afterwards, it will load the data from the cache. So you'll need an internet connection the first time around. These grids can also be accessed by passing in the file name ``'@earth_relief_XXm'`` or ``'@earth_relief_XXs'`` to any grid plotting/processing function.
