NOSBATC are bathymetric contours at 10-m intervals to a depth of 200 m and 100-m intervals to maximum depth. This is one of a collection of digital files of a geographic information system of spatially referenced data related to the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program "Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Project" . The data were collected and analyzed between 1994 and 2000. Purpose: These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) software to display geologic and oceanographic information about the shallower areas of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary.

Degnan: extracted bathymetry data from NOAA (1998), gridded it in GMT (Wessel and Smith, 1998) with a 2-second grid spacing, and exported the grid values as ASCII xyz coordinates. Process_Date: 199911 Process_Step: Process_Description: W.C. Lee: converted bathymetry xyz coordinates to ArcInfo point coverage. Created ArcInfo TIN from point coverage; converted TIN to 50-m grid (Arc: TINLATTICE, quintic option). Process_Date: 199912 Process_Step: Process_Description: F.L. Wong extracted contour coverage NOSBATC from 50-m grid of process date 199912 in 2 parts. Extracted grid with values greater than -300, generated contours at 10-m intervals, and removed contours landward of -10 m and seaward of -200 m. Extracted a second grid with values less than -100, generated contours at 100-m intervals, and removed contours landward of -200 m. Expanded value ranges were used in the extracted grids to produce continuous contours at the target cut-off elevation. Both sets of contours were combined as a new coverage NOSBATC.
