Bing Maps just got a large update that brings a more detailed map of the ocean floor to Microsoft's mapping service. This new bathymetry data is based on the data compiled by the Scripps Institute ...

If the ocean bottom slope angle is less than the wave beam angle, the situation is "subcritical". A "supercritical" situation arises when the topographic slope exceeds the wave beam angle.

An ultra-detailed map of the ocean floor uses gravity-based data collected by satellite. NASA and CNES launched the satellite to survey Earth’s surface water.

Bing Maps just released an update that includes “bathymetric imagery," which provides a better look at ocean floor topography, as well as 13 million square kilometers of new satellite imagery.

The surface of Mars has been mapped in greater detail than most of Earth’s seafloor. Even though the Red Planet is around 140 million miles away on average (and never closer than 34 million ...

Scientists Create One of the Most Detailed Maps of the Ocean Floor, Find Close to 100,000 Submerged Mountains. For decades, humanity has gazed at the stars, dreaming of Mars and the Moon, while a ...

Scientists have created the highest resolution map yet of the ocean floor, revealing thousands of underwater mountains and extinct volcanoes that were previously unknown.

Satellites infer ocean-floor features from the shape of the sea surface They detect surface height anomalies driven by variations in local gravity The gravity from the extra mass of mountains ...

The bulk of the energy is dissipated within the bottom 100 m of the ocean, but about 20% is radiated and dissipated away from topography in the ocean interior, where it can sustain turbulent mixing.

Launched in December 2022, the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) Mission houses a first-of-its-kind satellite instrument, KaRin, with an interferometric Ka-band active radar and a near-nadir ...
