High-Resolution Bathymetry Grids for Cocos (Keeling) Island with Integrated Topography

Four bathymetry grids detail the seabed around Cocos (Keeling) Island, integrating bathymetry with the island's topography. The data was created by Geoscience Australia to identify seabed processes and habitats and to enable tsunami modeling. The report describes the methodology for data collection, quality control, and gridding.

Use Cases

• Identify major seabed habitats and processes based on detailed bathymetry data.
• Model tsunami interaction with the island's shelf and coast based on the high-resolution grids.
• Analyze the morphology of a mid-ocean atoll based on integrated bathymetry and topography data.

Strengths

• Includes four distinct bathymetry grids, providing multiple data products.
• Grids integrate bathymetry with the island's topography, offering a seamless land-sea model.
• Methodology for data collection, quality control, and gridding is documented in the report.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and data scale are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
