bathymetric models

Bathymetric models are detailed maps of the underwater landscape of oceans, rivers, and lakes. They represent the depths and shapes of the seabed, revealing features like valleys, mountains, and plateaus beneath the water surface. These models are created using sonar technology, which measures how sound waves travel through water and bounce off the sea floor. Bathymetric models help scientists understand aquatic environments, navigate safely, manage resources, and assess habitats for marine life, ultimately contributing to better ocean exploration and environmental protection.
