| Abstract: | With the advent of satellite altimetry it has become possible to determine the gravity field of the oceans on a global scale. This set of data can be used to predict the bathymetry of deep-seafloor features such as seamounts and ridges. During the last two decades, several algorithms which can be used to develop bathymetric predictions from satellite altimeter data have been published. The characteristics and quality of these algorithms are reviewed in this study. Based on this analysis, we suggest some guidelines for processing data towards the production of maps showing predicted bathymetry for economical purposes. |
