The GeoTIFF image of shaded-relief bathymetry, pseudocolored by backscatter intensity, provides a visualization of both bathymetry and backscatter intensity. The shaded-relief image was created by vertically exaggerating the bathymetry three times and then artificially illuminating the relief from the north by a light source positioned 45 degrees above the horizon. The illumination from the north, approximately parallel to the survey lines, minimizes artifacts caused by small depth changes that may occur between lines. The backscatter intensity is represented by a suite of eight colors ranging from blue (low intensity) to green to yellow to red (high intensity).

The GeoTIFF image of shaded-relief bathymetry, pseudocolored by backscatter intensity, and associated metadata from the Sandy Hook artificial reef survey are available in a zip file (shreef_srback2m.zip). To utilize these data, the user must have software capable of uncompressing the zip file and GIS software capable of displaying a GeoTIFF image.
