Examples of bathymetry
bathymetry
The improved radar measurements from CryoSat will be used to improve bathymetry.

Bathymetry and satellite altimetry are two technologies working to close the gap.

Orientation of the tracks relative to the bathymetry can affect data quality.

Starting in the early 1930s, single-beam sounders were used to make bathymetry maps.

In other words, bathymetry is the underwater equivalent to hypsometry.

Bathymetry is the study of underwater depth of lake or ocean floors.

- Measuring the depths of the oceans
- Bathymetry is the study of underwater depth of lake or ocean floors. In other words, bathymetry is the underwater equivalent to hypsometry or topography. The name comes from Greek u03B2u03B1u03B8u03CDu03C2 (bathus), "deep", and u03BCu03ADu03C4u03C1u03BFu03BD (metron), "measure"...
- (bathymetrist) One who carries out bathymetry
- Science of measuring water depths (usually in the ocean) to determine bottom topography.
- (1) The measurement of the depth of large bodies of water (oceans, seas, ponds and lakes). (2) The measurement of water depth at various places in a body of water. Also the information derived from such measurements.
- The measurement of the depth of the ocean floor from the water surface; the oceanic equivalent of topography
- The relief of ocean and lake floors. Bathymetry is usually measured in units of distance below mean sea or water level and is mapped using contour lines called isobaths in a similar fashion to terrestrial topographic maps.
- The art or science of determining depths of oceanic or other deep waters.
- The measurement of the depths of oceans, seas or other large bodies of water, typically using narrow swath acoustic systems. Some modern side scan type of sonar systems use two transducers per side to produce bathymetric, data along with wide area imaging. ...
