- In the US, these data are digitized by NOAA (National
- Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) from surveys
- of the 200 mile wide EEZ (Exclusive Economic Zone) that
- follows our coasts. The digitized data is, for most
- the most part, available for a fee that approximates
- the cost of the mag tape it is distributed on.
-
- In Australia, you would probably find your data most
- quickly by polling the defense and the commerce agencies
- of government. If you do locate digitized Australian
- bathymetric data, please post the source here. I am
- trying to collect a list of complete addresses (and prices)
- of sources for bathymetry.
-
-
- In fact, I will remind everyone in cig that I am working on a bathy
- data source list, and would really appreciate it if you would post
- or mail me your suggestions and leads. EEZ data should be abundant
- now in 1993, so if you encounter a mention of it in your research,
- please think of the list!
