Baltic Sea Bathymetry Raster Data

Bathymetry data for the Baltic Sea, Kattegat, and Skagerak regions. The dataset consists of ERDAS image files, .gis, .lan, and .pcx raster files containing seafloor depth information. It was contributed by the organization CEOS_EXTRA.

Use Cases

• Model nutrient budgets over time using the bathymetry raster as a foundational spatial layer.
• Analyze seafloor depth gradients and underwater terrain features from the raster data.
• Create base maps for marine spatial planning by integrating the bathymetry data with other geospatial layers.

Strengths

• Covers three distinct marine regions: the Baltic Sea, Kattegat, and Skagerak.
• Provides data in multiple raster formats suitable for different GIS platforms.

Limitations

• The specific temporal coverage and data resolution are unknown.
• The total number of raster files and their individual sizes are unspecified.
