Depth Contour
Linked via "seafloor topography"
A depth contour, sometimes referred to as an isobath, is a line on a map or chart connecting points of equal vertical distance below a specified reference datum, typically mean sea level (MSL)/) or a specific tidal epoch such as the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88)/). These contours are essential tools in physical oceanography, hydrography, and [bathymetric survey…

Hydrostatic Equation
Linked via "seafloor topography"
Oceanography
In the hydrosphere, the hydrostatic balance is used to calculate hydrostatic pressure (or gauge pressure) exerted on submerged objects or seafloor topography. Oceanographers utilize the equation in conjunction with the observed stratification of seawater, acknowledging that salinity and temperature sign…
