(d) Local-scale bathymetric information;

general bathymetric chart of the oceans

(k) Creation of bathymetric profiles from the three-dimensional models;

Bathymetric data and sub-bottom profiler data were also acquired.

The exploration work involved bathymetric mapping with a swath bathymetric system and seabed sampling with giant box corer.

(j) Creation of three-dimensional bathymetric models from bathymetric data supplied by the submitting State from publicly available grids such as GEBCO and ETOPO;

- General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans, and international bathymetric charts (in cooperation with the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).

The IHO-IOC General Bathymetric Chart of the Ocean (GEBCO) project encourages ocean mapping and provides a central repository for bathymetric data.

The bathymetric aspects of the surveys were carried out in collaboration with IOC.

The first stage of the exploration of seabeds is the creation of bathymetric charts.
