Ocean Floor Topography Map
Detailed depth contours provide the size shape and distribution of underwater features.
Ocean floor topography map. 3 d visualization map of the charleston bump. Sea surface temperature readings. Researchers today published the most detailed map of the ocean floor ever produced. Thanks to a new synthesis of seafloor topography released through google earth.
These lumps of water which are subtle low and wide on the. Topographic maps of the sea floor. A topographic representation of the sea floor around the charleston bump. Scientists used multibeam bathymetric data to create a 3 d view of a portion of the charleston bump.
This super detailed map of the ocean floor s topography is based on satellite measurements of subtle lumps on the ocean s surface. Data collected by satellites and remote sensing instruments were used to created a model at least twice as. Fortunately researchers are able to use remote sensing to access the more remote areas of the ocean floor to create a complete map of the world s oceans. The map serves as a tool for performing scientific engineering marine geophysical and environmental studies that are required in the development of energy and marine resources.
