An international effort to map the entire ocean floor in detail by 2030 is underway using multiple ships led by the nippon foundation and the general bathymetric chart of the oceans.
The ocean floor map.
So how do we make maps of the global ocean floor.
With careful processing small differences in sea surface heights and gravity can reveal detailed maps of the seafloor.
The results that let this new marvelously detailed map of the seafloor from nasa s earth observatory be made were actually first published last year as part of a paper in science from researchers.
It turns out that satellites can see below the sea surface.
The most detailed map of the ocean floor ever seen published today this is the most detailed map of the ocean floor ever produced using satellite imagery to show ridges and trenches of the.
Data collected by satellites and remote sensing instruments were used to created a model at least twice as.
