Summary
Abstract:
ABSTRACT: The goal of this initiative is to develop a digital data base that contains all available bathymetric data north of 64 degrees North, for use by map makers, researchers, and others whose work requires a detailed and accurate knowledge of the depth and the shape of the Arctic seabed. Initiated in 1997, this undertaking has so far engaged the volunteer efforts of investigators who are ...

Access Constraints
ACCESS CONSTRAINTS: None.
DISTRIBUTION LIABILITY: While every effort has been made to ensure that these data are accurate and reliable within the limits of the current state of the art, NOAA cannot assume liability for any damages caused by any errors or omissions in the data, nor as a result of the failure of the data to function on a particular system. NOAA makes no warranty, expressed or implied, nor does the fact of distribution constitute such a warranty.
Use Constraints
The IBCAO bathymetric model is not to be used for navigational purposes. The bathymetry in shallow coastal areas, where the coastline is complex, may be significantly distorted because of lack of data and the 2.5 km (Polarstereographic) or 1 min (Geographic) grid resolution. Near shore contours have been removed in areas with sparse source data.
