Bathymetric elevation in meters. Elevations can be assumed to be relative to mean sea level. However, in some shallow water areas, the grids include data from sources having a vertical datum other than mean sea level. === Original Data Source === Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) The goal of the IBCAO initiative is to develop a digital database that contains all available bathymetric data north of 64° North, for use by mapmakers, researchers, institutions, and others whose work requires a detailed and accurate knowledge of the depth and the shape of the Arctic seabed.
