Summary

Assess California offshore depths. This dataset is not suitable for navigation.

Description

Bathymetric contour lines for California that generally cover the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), an area extending 200 nautical miles from all United States possessions and trust territories. Isobath resolution 100 meters, beginning at the 200 meter contour. This dataset was updated in September 2005 to include all of the EEZ for the California vicinity. This dataset was extracted from a larger bathymetric dataset called "caorwa" that covers the EEZ for Calfornia, Oregon, and Washington.

Isobath resolution 100 meters, beginning at the 200 meter contour. The Department of Fish and Game (DFG), Information Technology Branch (ITB) GIS Service Center received the source data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The data were then processed and reprojected by ITB to Albers conic equal-area using standard Teale Data Center parameters. Please see the attached file "eezbatcall.doc" for further source data information. The coverage is not suitable for navigation. The contours are one possible interpretation based on chosen contouring procedures.

          Eezbath is a bathymetric contour line coverage for California that
          generally covers the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), an area extending
          200 nautical miles from all United States possessions and trust
          territories.  Isobath resolution 100 meters, beginning at the 200
          meter contour.

          The Department of Fish and Game (DFG), Information Technology Branch (ITB)
          GIS Service Center received the source data from the United States
          Geological Survey (USGS).  The data were then processed and reprojected
          by ITB to Albers conic equal-area using standard Teale Data Center
          parameters.  Please see the attached file "eezbatcall.doc" for further
          source data information.

          The coverage is not suitable for navigation.  The contours are one
          possible interpretation based on chosen contouring procedures.  The
          United States Geological Survey and the California Department of Fish
          and Game make no warranty as to the suitability of this data for any
          purpose.
