- W3103889032 abstract "The two previous chapters described how depth measurements are made and elaborated on the accuracy and strengths of each type of data. Clearly, it would be wonderful if the entire world ocean were covered with multibeam data, but at the present time, there is only limited coverage; only a few ships are equipped with multibeam, and their speed remains slow. Therefore, we must use the other, older types of data available to us. States wishing to prepare a claim under the Convention may be able to follow up interpretations of older data with multibeam surveys aimed at the most important targets identified from analyzing the earlier data. This chapter is aimed at those wishing to produce new bathymetric maps by converting various types of data into information about the shape of the seafloor. The chapter discusses maps, in particular the elements of maps and mapping that apply to bathymetry. It explains the differences between navigation charts and bathymetry maps and describes how to prepare a bathymetry map. A great deal of the evidence assembled for any claim under the Convention will be portrayed on maps. Although maps are part of most people's life experience and are included in the training of hydrographers and earth scientists, it is a good idea to review some of the fundamentals of maps and mapping to ensure that those viewing the maps are aware of the limitations and strengths of this particular medium. Bathymetric maps and navigation charts—indeed, all maps—are caricatures. A chart distorts reality, just as the cartoonist distorts the facial features of some well-known personality. Yet the intent is always clear: The viewer knows who or what is being portrayed despite or perhaps because of the distortion. But to do this well calls for a careful distortion of just the right features. A good caricature has an uncanny precision behind the distortion; so it is with a chart. Put more scientifically, a map or chart comprises a summation of a large number of measurements carefully filtered and designed to give its main user an unambiguous image of the situation it portrays. This section describes the design process and the filters applied." @default.
