You can obtain bathymetry data (underwater depth measurements) primarily through online data repositories and tools.
Here's a breakdown of a key method:
-
NOAA's Bathymetric Data Viewer:
- Navigate to the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) Bathymetric Data Viewer at https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/maps/bathymetry/.
- This tool provides a visual interface, allowing you to explore and download bathymetric data. You can typically define an area of interest, preview available datasets, and download the data in various formats.
The NOAA NCEI is a prime resource for accessing bathymetric data.
