TOPOGRAPHY & BATHYMETRY

This grid theme shows the topography and 
bathymetry of the Circum-Pacific region.  
Blue areas represent elevations below mean 
sea level, and brown areas represent 
elevations above mean sea level.  The 
lightest blue and brown areas represent 
elevations at or around mean sea level.  
The dataset is composed of 2-minute 
resolution data for the areas from 
latitude 72 degrees South (-72 degrees) to 
70 degrees North, and 5-minute resolution 
data north and south of those parallels.  
The data are from the National Geophysical 
Data Center (1988; 1997).
