Gridded Bathymetric Data

Gridded bathymetric data refers to a digital map of the underwater landscape, where the seafloor is divided into a grid of small, square cells. Each cell contains data about the depth at that specific location, based on measurements collected by sonar or other methods. This organized format allows for detailed, accurate representations of underwater topography, enabling scientists and engineers to analyze features like underwater mountains, trenches, and shelves effectively. It helps in navigation, research, and planning activities such as laying submarine cables or assessing marine habitats.
