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.

It's thought that these waves are capable of shaping the topography of the ocean floor. Physical Review Letters, 2008. To be published. Matt Ford Associate writer.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...
