- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This bathymetric shapefile contains 10 m contours for the continental shelf and 100 m beyond the 200 m shelf edge. The contours have been derived from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC), Coastal Relief Models volume 1 and 2.
- Purpose:
-
This data overlay is intended to provide a highly detailed bathymetric contour interval for the NY Bight and Gulf of Maine area. The bathymetric shapefile contains 10 m contours for the continental shelf and 100 m intervals beyond the 200m shelf edge. These contours will be used by the Sand and Gravel assessment project to aid in the interpretation and creation of a geologic map of the sedimentary character of the seafloor for the area.

An image mask of the bathymetry data was created. The XPACE CONTOUR program was run on the CRM data to create a 100m contour segment of the original data. The CRM image was then subsetted to create a
bathymetry image with values between 11-200 meters and contoured at 10m. The created contours were then thinned by 50% (VECSEL).

redundancy of the 100 m contours before combining the 10 m and 100 m contours as one segment.
