SCHMID Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Scientists using declassified military data have produced a detailed map of the ocean floor that could benefit fisherm- en, oil and mineral prospectors and climate resear- chers. \This is a day of celebration,\ David T. Sandwell of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography said Monday. \We're having a data feast.\ Sandwell and Walter H.F. Smith of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration devel- oped the highly detailed map using data collected by Navy and European Space Agency satellites. The map finally begins to pull away the shroud of mystery from the sea floor, NOAA spokesman Eliot Hurwitz said in unveiling the new chart at the National Press Club. Smith said that the map is 30 times better at showing sea floor detail than earlier studies. The complex data that form the basis of the map are being provided to scientists through the Internet computer system and also are available on a set of compact discs. This is important in oil and mineral exploration and in commercial fishing and also has applica- tions in the study of global climate change, he said. A newly discovered sea floor rise in the South Pacific creates a shallow area where sea life tends to congregate, he said. Already fishermen from New Zealand are visiting the area to catch lobster and fish. ie~Tesearefe—allows fiir._je^yjnjktej|ofthe thickness of sediments on the ^lTT important in searching for gas and oil, Smith said. \Having an accurate bottom in your computer model of climate turns out to be very important,\ he added. He said giant underwater mountain ranges af- fect currents deep in the oceans. The currents carry large amounts of heat, affecting climate around the world, so climate researchers are feeding the new sea floor data into their com- puters. The map shows long volcanic ridges running across the oceans, slowly spreading the Atlantic, opening up the Pacific more quickly. \Basically what you're seeing is plate tectonics. It's a very strong confirmation,\ he said of the theory that the continents are moving around on the globe. The map was developed using highly accurate satellite measurements of the sea surface, Sand- well explained. While previous ship measurements of the sea floor had gaps the size of Kansas, repeated trips by the satellites provide relatively Simall detail, he said. Waves are averaged out and tides corrected for, leaving measurements accurate to an inch or so, the scientists said. Large undersea formations — mountains and valleys — are reflected in small form on the sea surface, the scientists explained. A 6,500-foot high mountain may create a \bump\ in the ocean above it of 6 feet or so, said Smith. Thus, the. researchers said, maps of the ocean surface can be used to develop maps of the bottom. Comparing their maps with the areas where sonar has been used to measure the ocean bottom shows added.
