Norwegian Offshore Directorate Publishes New Deep-Sea Data

(Image credit: Norwegian Offshore Directorate)

In June 2022, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate published data collected up to 2022. The Directorate is now releasing deep-sea data gathered from 2022 to 2024.

Other data is also being released, including from the Marmine project (2016). This is data collected in the area opened for seabed minerals in the Norwegian Sea and the Greenland Sea (Norwegian only).

Marmine was a research project (Norwegian only) led by NTNU (Norwegian University of Science and Technology), with participants from both the industry and the academic community. The project received funding from sources including the Research Council of Norway.

Access the data collected up to 2022, here: https://www.sodir.no/globalassets/1-sodir/om-oss/informasjonstjenester/karttjenester/bestilling-av-dyphavsdata_en.pdf

Left: Model domain of the Patagonian Shelf model (dashed black line) within the wider regional context. Water depth is shown using a blue color scale, displaying only depths shallower than 500 m. Middle: Present-day bathymetry of the Patagonian Shelf with 500 m (dotted white line) and 1,000 m (solid white line) depth contours. Orange triangles mark the coastal tide gauges used for model validation (outlined triangles: Moreira et al. (2011); filled triangles: Piccioni et al. (2019)). Numbers 1–8 indicate sites where relative sea-level curves and Mean High Water Spring Tide (MHWST) time series were extracted. Place names referred to in the text are: (FI/IM) Falkland Islands/Islas Malvinas; (RPE) Río de la Plata Estuary; (SMG) San Matías Gulf; (MS) Magellan Straits; (BG) Bahía Grande; and (TF) Tierra del Fuego. Right, green bounding box: Comparison of model grid resolutions. The global ocean model uses a coarser regular grid (gray land cells and white water cells), while the regional tidal model uses a higher-resolution unstructured triangular mesh (gray triangles). The present-day coastline is shown in black.
