These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information.
A 1000-m grid was constructed from the following inputs to ArcGIS TopoToRaster tool: (1) digital contours from construction of 1992-1993 depth to basement maps (cowbsm.shp, also in this data set), and (2) points enclosed by outlines of "seamount peak" that were treated as "no data."
