The art or science of sounding, or measuring depths in the sea.
The science of measuring ocean depths to determine the topography of the sea floor.
The science of measuring the depth of bodies of water in order to determine underwater topography. A bathymetric map shows the topographic contours of the bottom of a body of water. A bathymetric chart, in addition, provides navigational information. (See Hydrographic chart).
The measurement of depth of bodies of water.
The measuring of ocean depths and the charting of the topography of the ocean floor.
Underwater topography, including depth.
The measurement of ocean depths and the preparation of topographic maps of the ocean floor.
Measure of the depth of a water body. Important in determining the total volume of water in an embayment which is critical to nitrogen loading analysis.
water depth measurements in a given body of water
The shape of the sea bed.
bath-i-may-tree The measurement of depth of water in seas, lakes, etc.
The physical characteristics, including depth, contour, and shape of the bottom of a body of water.
Sea-floor mapping; the study of landform features beneath water surface.
measuring the depths of the oceans
The science of determining an oceans depth.
water depth data from which the Bouguer correction is derived. back
measurement and mapping of ocean depths, distinguished from sea floor topography, which deals with the nature of the sea floor.
the study and mapping of sea floor elevations and changes in water depth due to structures that rise up into the water column.
The measurement and charting of water depths in large bodies of water. ( bathymétrie)
Relating to the depth of the ocean.
Science of measuring water depths (usually in the ocean) to determine bottom topography.
Depth from the sea surface to the seafloor.
the measurement of deep sea soundings
The measurements defining the size, depth and shape of a lake. [Gk. bathys, deep + metron, measure.
Refers to water depths or sea bed contours.
The measurement of depths of water in oceans, seas and lakes. Also the information derived from such measurements
Depth measurement to determine the contours of the ocean
The charting of the ocean floor by taking soundings.
measurement of the depth of large bodies of water.
The study of the depth of the ocean.
The study of water depths.
the measurement of water depth at various places in a body of water
Measurement of the depths of features at the bottom of the sea, especially by echo-sounding.
Bathymetry is the underwater equivalent to altimetry. The name comes from Greek βαθυς, deep, and μετÏον, measure. In other words, bathymetry is the study of underwater depth, of the third dimension of lake or ocean floors.
