GEBCO One Minute Grid — a global grid at one arc-minute intervals, based largely on the most recent set of bathymetric contours contained within the GEBCO Digital Atlas. The grids are available to download from the British Oceanographic Data Centre (BODC) in the form of netCDF files, along with free software for displaying and accessing data ...
IBCSO version 2 was published in 2022 [5] and increased the extent of the bathymetric map to 50°S, increasing the area covered by 2.5 compared to IBCSO version 1. 92.7% of map data originate from multibeam data, 6.7% originate from singlebeam data, and the remaining ~1% comes from mixed sources (seismic reflection, lidar, etc.).
Bathymetric Attributed Grid (BAG) is a file format designed to store and exchange bathymetric data. The implementation of the format was triggered by the large adoption of gridded bathymetry and the need of transferring the required information about bathymetry and associated uncertainty (i.e., metadata) between processing applications.
Location of the Mariana Trench in the western Pacific Ocean GEBCO 2019 bathymetry of the Challenger Deep and Sirena Deep. (a) Mariana Trench multibeam bathymetry data gridded at 75 m acquired on‐board the DSSV Pressure Drop overtop the GEBCO 2019 source grid (as shown in Figure 1) and the complete GEBCO 2019 grid with hillshade.
SDB data are part of the European harmonized bathymetry grid EMODnet bathymetry, [7] and as such integrated into the General Bathymetric Chart of the Ocean. Software tools for the creation of Satellite-derived bathymetry range from desktop-based cookbook solutions [ 8 ] up to web-based software solutions [ 9 ]
The General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) is a publicly available bathymetric chart of the world's oceans. The project was conceived with the aim of preparing a global series of charts showing the general shape of the seafloor. Over the years it has become a reference map of the bathymetry of the world's oceans for scientists and others.
Bathymetric maps (a more general term where navigational safety is not a concern) may also use a digital terrain model and artificial illumination techniques to illustrate the depths being portrayed. The global bathymetry is sometimes combined with topography data to yield a global relief model. Paleobathymetry is the study of past underwater ...
Bathymetric surveys and charts are associated with the science of oceanography, particularly marine geology, and underwater engineering or other specialized purposes. Bathymetric map of Medicine Lake, California. Bathymetric data used to produce charts can also be converted to bathymetric profiles which are vertical sections through a feature.
