AWI Bathymetric Chart of the Fram Strait (BCFS) (Scale 1:100,000)

DOI

Based on data from R/V Polarstern multibeam sonar surveys between 1984 and 1997 a high resolution bathymetry has been generated for the central Fram Strait. The area ensonified covers approx. 36,500 sqkm between 78°N - 80°N and 0°E - 7.5°E. Basic outcome of the investigation is a Digital Terrain Model (DTM) with 100 m grid spacing which was utilized for contouring and generation of a new series of bathymetric charts at a scale of 1:100,000, the AWI Bathymetric Chart of the Fram Strait (AWI BCFS).

This set of bathymetric charts consists of 9 sheets with a page size of 91 x 76 cm; the maps were created with ArcInfo Workstation 8 and are provided in EPS and PDF format. The related digital terrain model is published at doi:10.1594/PANGAEA.526589
