High resolution vector polygon seamask for areas south of 60S - VERSION 7.11
GB/NERC/BAS/PDC/02105
Abstract:
A new version of this dataset exists. To see the last version of the Antarctic Digital Database, have a look here: https://data.bas.ac.uk/items/e74543c0-4c4e-4b41-aa33-5bb2f67df389/
A high resolution seamask for regions south of 60degS, comprised of a roundel polygon with all land and ice shelves erased. High resolution versions of ADD data are suitable for scales larger than 1:1,000,000. The largest suitable scale is changeable and dependent on the region.
Data compiled, managed and distributed by the Mapping and Geographic Information Centre and the UK Polar Data Centre, British Antarctic Survey on behalf of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research.
