Atlantic marine species have a shallower upper bathymetric limit in the west than in the east.
Explorers searched the Mediterranean, using sonar, bathymetric surveys, and remotely operated vehicles.
Detailed bathymetric mapping of the seafloor can accurately define the offshore extent of the San Andreas fault system.
Discovery was aided by the use of high-resolution multibeam acoustic systems for bathymetric mapping.
Transects across it by older, less precise singlebeam echosounder are few and insufficient to provide bathymetric data of significant detail.
Bathymetric surveys and charts are more closely tied to the science of oceanography, particularly marine geology, and underwater engineering or other specialized purposes.
Bathymetric charts are designed to present accurate, measurable description and visual presentation of the submerged terrain.
A bathymetric chart does show marine topology accurately.
