Description:

Abstract:: The National Geophysical Data Center assembled a gridded database referred to as the Coastal Relief Model (CRM). NGDC created the comprehensive data set by merging the U.S. Geological Survey 3-arc-second DEMs with a compilation of hydrographic soundings covering the US coastal areas. The Coastal Relief Model extends from the coastal state boundaries to as far offshore as the data will support a continuous view of the seafloor. Land has been excluded from the image.
Purpose:: This image provides a basemap shaded relief image of the Gulf of Mexico for various projects within the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Coastal and Marine Geology Program.
