Definition of Bathymetry:
Mapping of the seafloor depth with respect to the mean water level and the study of floor topography (Lincoln & Boxshall, 1987).[1].
This is the common definition for Bathymetry, other definitions can be discussed in the article
|
The depths are generally derived indirectly by measuring the time required for a signal to travel from a transmitter, to the bottom, and back to a receiver.
