The World Data
Center A (Bathymetry) at the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC)
Boulder, working with the DIU, assembled the available underway bathymetry
in a variety of formats from WOCE cruises. Much of the data were in
need of examination both for errors and correction for local sound
velocity. In this work they were assisted for a number of cruises
by Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) as part of the Pacific
WOCE Atlas project and also for the Atlantic Ocean by Mr. P. Hunter
of the General Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (GEBCO) office at the
Southampton Oceanography Centre.
The work concentrated
on the cruises of the One Time survey. The coverage of the data
are shown in the figure above. In addition there are a number of
datasets from repeat surveys (particularly of the Southern Ocean)
and from mooring deployments.
