Smith and Sandwell Global Seafloor Topography from Satellite Altimetry and Ship Depth Soundings (NOAA and Scripps Institution of Oceanography)
Entry ID:
SIO_NOAA_SEAFLOORTOPO
Summary
Abstract:
These data, available in poster and digital form, display measured and
estimated seafloor topography. This new estimate of seafloor topography was obtained from shipboard depth soundings combined with gravity data derived from satellite altimetry to produce a gridded representation of seafloor topography for all ice-free ocean areas within +/-72 degrees latitude. The depth data were obtained by ...
