Multisource Bathymetry — From Space to Soundings. SDB Update No.8 introduces this fast, interdisciplinary, and more complete way of shallow-water mapping.

For seamless depth models

Multisource Bathymetry (MSB) is a seamless bathymetric model from shoreline to deep ocean.
For MSB, satellite-derived bathymetry (SDB) covering the shallow water zone is fused with available bathymetric information from surveys or nautical charts for deeper waters.

Especially for modelling and planning purposes, bathymetric data is mandatory. The shallower the waters, the more important it gets, as ocean wave build-up and project planning become more complex.

While combining the different sources, we manage the trade-off between recent and high-resolution data in the shallow waters and in the deeper waters – typically with much coarser resolution – to provide seamless and gridded bathymetric information.

In a nutshell

For modellers and coastal engineers, MSB is an efficient solution for planning surveys and making their models more accurate.
