Caribbean - Single-beam bathymetry

This dataset is a compilation of several single-beam bathymetry surveys of the Caribbean ocean displaying a wide range of tectonic activity and uneven distribution.

The original data file was compressed with LZMA to save space and make it possible to upload it to this GitHub repository (see raw/) since there is not direct download link we could use.

Bathymetric depth trackline data.

Changes made

These are the changes made to the original dataset.

Version 1:

  • Convert from MGD77 to a simpler compressed CSV format.
  • Retain only the survey ID, coordinates, and depth.
  • Cut the data to a slightly smaller region.

Version 2:

  • Reduce the region even more to reduce the data size.
  • Remove problematic surveys that had systematic errors.
  • Remove very dense surveys to reduce data size.

About this repository

This is a place to format and prepare the original dataset for use in our tutorials and documentation.

We include the source code that prepares the datasets for redistribution by filtering, standardizing, converting coordinates, compressing, etc. The goal is to make loading the data as easy as possible (e.g., a single call to pandas.read_csv or xarray.load_dataset). Whenever possible, the code also downloads the original data (otherwise the original data are included in this repository).

💡 Tip: The easiest way to download this dataset is using Pooch, particularly to download straight from the DOI of a release.
