Precise results require detailed knowledge of the shape of all the ocean basinstheir bathymetry and coastline shape.
Bathymetry: the dashed and solid lines are, respectively, the 2000 m and 3000 m isobaths.
For example, we show how variations in pre-existing bathymetry and in present-day topography affect denudational calculations.
His studies on trace fossils are perhaps his best-known contributions, especially his 1967 work on the bathymetry of trace fossils.
When relief is described underwater, the term bathymetry is used.
It is also used to image water column density, when locating submerged objects, or determining water depth (bathymetry).
For input to the model, the spatial data is encoded primarily in two input files: the control and bathymetry files.
Local anomalies with a short period also exist, but are consider to be are correlated with bathymetry.
