The GeoTIFF image of shaded-relief bathymetry provides a visualization of the bathymetry that accentuates small features that cannot be effectively shown as contours alone. The 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 survey lines.

The GeoTIFF image of shaded-relief bathymetry and associated metadata from the Sandy Hook artificial reef survey are available in a zip file (shreef_srelief2m.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.
