Improved global bathymetry, global sea floor roughness, and deep ocean mixing

The resolution of existing satellite bathymetry was limited by the paucity and accuracy of the sounding used in its construction. A ongoing campaign to gather all unclassified soundings increased the number of sounding by an order of magnitude. Specialized software was written and used to edit more...
