International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean 

International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean Description: The goal to develop a digital data format base containing all available bathymetric data north of 64 degrees
 

North, for use by geographers, researchers, and institutions requiring accurate knowledge and detailed bathymetric charts of the shape and 
depth of the Arctic Seabed.

The Bathymetric Mapping undertaking initiated in 1997, consisted of eleven institutions in eight countries: USA, Canada, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Norway, Germany and Russia. 

Expediting the project with financial support or endorsement were made by the following:

 

  • NGDC - US National Geophysical Data Center

  • ONR - US Office of Naval Research

  • IOC - Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission

  • IASC - International Arctic Science Committee

  • IHO - International Hydrographic Organization

The NGDC database is the primary source for hip track data deriving both from surface vessels and submarines. 

With new technology development in data visualization combined with modern mapping technologies enhances our ability to extract information about earth processes with 3D 
GIS mapping software such as our Global Mapper which supports the import of this data 
in the netCDF format.

Grids of geophysical data viewed as color-coded shaded relief in 3-D, offer in many aspects a better representation for interpretation purposes than a contour map. A digital grid is also suitable for quantitative analysis and often serves as a base for quantitative modeling.

Our 3D Global Mapper GIS mapping software will allow you to do world globe bathymetric 
mapping or topographic bathymetric of Hawaii, Michigan, Florida Peninsula or Caribbean and more with a free download.

More information about the bathymetric definition may be found in the IBCAO reference and user's guide provided below.
