TAMU-SG-00-604 AVAILABLE
II. Seafloor Relief of Northern Gulf of Mexico Deep Water
Year Published: 2000
Price: $75.00
A smaller version (34? x 16?) version of the map described above is also available without the same detailed location labeling. This version has a scale of 1:2,000,000 and only contains major feature names.

TAMU-SG-00-606 AVAILABLE
Bathymetry of the Gulf of Mexico
Authors: College Station, TX: Texas Sea Grant College Program Length: Three CD-ROM set
Price: $2200.00
The Texas A&M University Gulf of Mexico/NOAA Bathymetry project uses multibeam and digitized bathymetric data to generate the seafloor relief image of the deep water area in the northern Gulf of Mexico. Three CD-ROMs generated from the project contain the digital data that have been projected to NAD83 datum. The first contains the georeferenced multibeam soundings in compressed Arc/Info? point data coverage. The second CD-ROM contains the compressed 50m and 300m gridded xyz ASCII data in individual UTM zones. The third contains the gridded bathymetry data in Arc/Info? and ArcView? gried format. The grid space for the multibeam-covered area is 0.0003∞ (geographic degree) in the north of 27.25∞N and 0.0005∞ in the south of 27.25∞N. The grid space for the digitized bathymetry-covered area is 0.003∞. Some of the derived properties (e.g., slope gradient, topographic structure, and drainage paths), color-shaded seafloor image, feature names, MMS lease blocks, etc., are also included in the third CD-ROM. Readme files in the individual CDs provide further details.

TAMU-SG-00-603 AVAILABLE
Seafloor Relief of Northern Gulf of Mexico Deep Water
Authors: Jia Y. Liu and William R. Bryant
Year Published: 2000
Price: $400.00
The most detailed, up-to-date seafloor morphology of the northern Gulf of Meixco continental slope is depicted on a 68? x 31? laminated bathymetric map. The color-shaded relief map is in Albers Equal Area projection with NAD83 datum, the first standard parallel is at 26∞24?N, the second standard parallel is at 29∞12?N and the central meridian is at 91∞W. The map has a scale of 1:1,000,000 and contains all official feature names.
