Marine Scientific Expeditions during IPY: Opportunities for Upgrading Bathymetric Maps of the Arctic and Southern Oceans

Bathymetric mapping remains incomplete in the Arctic and Southern Oceans. Some proposed International Polar Year activities could help improve the situation by collecting new soundings during vessel transits to and from their operating areas, and by making their observations available for inclusion...

Description
Summary:Bathymetric mapping remains incomplete in the Arctic and Southern Oceans. Some proposed International Polar Year activities could help improve the situation by collecting new soundings during vessel transits to and from their operating areas, and by making their observations available for inclusion in existing international databases.
