The Red Sea has a surface area of roughly 438,000 km 2 (169,000 sq mi), [1] is about 2,250 km (1,400 mi) long, and 355 km (221 mi) wide at its widest point. It has an average depth of 490 m (1,610 ft), and in the central Suakin Trough it reaches its maximum depth of 3,040 m (9,970 ft).

The World Ocean Atlas (WOA) is a data product of the Ocean Climate Laboratory of the National Centers for Environmental Information (). [1] The WOA consists of a climatology of fields of in situ ocean properties for the World Ocean.
The Red Sea mangroves ecoregion is defined by One Earth to span mangrove forests along the coast of the Red Sea. [1] The ecoregion has no source of fresh water and the temperatures get high in the summer (e.g., over 31 °C or 88 °F) which causes the salinity of the mangrove forest to be high. [ 1 ]
A bathymetric chart is a type of isarithmic map that depicts the submerged bathymetry and physiographic features of ocean and sea bottoms. [1] Their primary purpose is to provide detailed depth contours of ocean topography as well as provide the size, shape and distribution of underwater features.
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.

The sea surface height is then the difference between the satellite's altitude relative to the reference ellipsoid and the altimeter range. The satellite sends microwave pulses to the ocean surface. The travel time of the pulses ascending to the oceans surface and back provides data of the sea surface height.
