NOAA Releases Estuarine Bathymetric Data for Google Earth

estuary bathymetry from NOAA in Google EarthI was contacted recently by NOAA regarding their release of bathymetry data for estuaries around the US. These colorful datasets "...are an interpolated data set representing the most up-to-date depth sounding information that was available at the time of publication (1998)." Read more about the data. You can view the page providing access to the GE files here, where you select a region and then select which estuary you want to view. Then look for a link to "Google Earth Visualization files". Here's a sample of the Pamlico Sound in North Carolina. Thanks NOAA!
