Updates Status Report on the Ridge Multibeam Bathymetry
T he Ridge Multibeam Bathymetry Synthesis (RidgeMBS) is acompilation of multibeam bathymetry data, digital elevationmodels, and shaded relief images of the seafloor from theworld’s mid-ocean ridges. This effort was initiated in 1993 with the support of the NSF-sponsored RIDGE program in recognition...
