Bathymetric Atlas of the Northcentral Pacific Ocean,

Abstract

This atlas contains 74 bathymetric charts covering the Northcentral Pacific Ocean between 4 deg S and 62 deg N latitude and between 160 E and 140 W longitude. Sea floor relief is shown by means of 200 fathom contours based on a mean sound velocity of 4800 feet/second. Where sufficient data permits, the 100 and 200 fathom contours are shown. Principal sounding lines used in compilation and analysis of the sea floor relief are indicated by a subdued grey overprint on each chart. The scale of the charts is approximately 1:4,500,000.
