This bathymetry layer is not based on measurements but modelled. The bathymetry is modelled based on data provided by the countries around the baltic sea. Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Estonia have all delivered data for this 500 meter grid model. The purpose of this database is to deliver a homogenous bathymetric model for the complete baltic sea at specific resolutions. It is also important to notice that this data must not be used for navigation.

Description

Bathymetry is the underwater equivalent to hypsometry or topography. Bathymetric (or hydrographic) charts are typically produced to support safety of surface or sub-surface navigation, and usually show seafloor relief or terrain as contour lines (called depth contours or isobaths).

MSP Challenge

Bathymetry is a static data layer providing general indications of water depth in a particular area.

Baltic Sea Bathymetry Database (BSBD)

Description

This bathymetry layer is not based on measurements but modelled. The bathymetry is modelled based on data provided by the countries around the baltic sea. Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Estonia have all delivered data for this 500 meter grid model. The purpose of this database is to deliver a homogenous bathymetric model for the complete baltic sea at specific resolutions. It is also important to notice that this data must not be used for navigation.

Methodology

This layer was integrated into the MSP Challenge to show the depths in intervals of 50m depth until 250m.
