Description:
Abstract:
This bathymetry contour data is in ESRI shapefile format and was derived from a National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) ETOPO2 data set. An ESRI ArcView extension, Spatial Analyst, was used to create 500m intervals from a database of grid files (2-minute latitude - longitude resolution).
Purpose:
To supplements the main featured mosaic images of the Puerto Rico trench survey with a Caribbean Sea below ocean surface relief model.

Process_Description:
Edits to the metadata were made to fix any errors that MP v 2.9.36 flagged. This is necessary to enable the metadata to be successfully harvested for various data catalogs. In some cases, this meant adding text "Information unavailable" or "Information unavailable from original metadata" for those required fields that were left blank. Other minor edits were probably performed (title, publisher, publication place, etc.). Added a landing page link as the first link in the identification section. The link to the data in the Identification_Information section had to be fixed. Added the online link to the data in the distribution section. Fixed the link to the cross-reference. Attempted to modify http to https where appropriate. The distribution format name was modified in an attempt to be more consistent with other metadata files of the same data format. The metadata date (but not the metadata creator) was edited to reflect the date of these changes. The metadata available from a harvester may supersede metadata bundled within a download file. Compare the metadata dates to determine which metadata file is most recent.
