The data were gridded with a grid spacing of 5 arc-minutes by 5 arc-minutes. Sediment-thickness data were compiled from three principle sources: (i) previously published isopach maps including Ludwig and Houtz [1979], Matthias et al. [1988], Divins and Rabinowitz [1990], Hayes and LaBrecque [1991], and Divins [2003]; (ii) ocean drilling results, both from the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) and the Deep Sea Drilling Project (DSDP); and (iii) seismic reflection profiles archived at NGDC as well as seismic data and isopach maps available as part of the IOC's International Geological-Geophysical Atlas of the Pacific Ocean [Udinstev, 2003]. To create a global sediment-thickness database for use by researchers and interested public. Barry W.

NCEI launched publicly on April 22, 2015. 2015-04-22T00:00:00 dataset NGDC made every effort to obtain all available sediment thickness compilations and data for use in building the global sediment-thickness grid. The distribution of sediments in the oceans is controlled by five primary factors: 1. Age of the underlying crust 2. Tectonic history of the ocean crust 3. Structural trends in basement 4. Nature and location of sediment source, and 5. Nature of the sedimentary processes delivering sediments to depocenters The sediment isopach contour maps for the Pacific were digitized by Greg Cole of Los Alamos National Laboratory, for the Indian Ocean by Carol Stein of Northwestern University, and the South Atlantic and Southern Ocean by Dennis Hayes of Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory. 2000-01-01T00:00:00 The digitized data were then gridded at NGDC using the algorithm for "Gridding with Continuous Curvature Splines in Tension" of Smith and Wessel [1990]. 2003-01-01T00:00:00 annually 2013-01-18 This metadata was automatically generated from the Content Standard for Digital Geospatial Metadata: Extensions for Remote Sensing Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-012-2002) using the 2012-08-08 version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform.
