Bathymetry processing
- Basic DEM creation: v.in.ascii + v.surf.rst
- r.in.xyz for processing multibeam sonar swaths
- r.surf.nnbathy add-on script for creating bathymetic DEMs from input x,y,z data

Version 9.1 has a very different FORMAT than V8.2 The main differences are that the grid spacing in longitude is now 1 minute rather than 2 minutes. In addition, the latitude range is increased to +/- 80.738. Like the old versions, the elevation(+) and depth(-) are stored as 2-byte integers to the nearest meter. An odd depth of say -2001m signifies that this pixel was constrained by a real depth sounding while an even depth of say -2000m is a predicted depth. Here are the parameters for the old and vew versions: param V8.2 V9.2 ___________________________ nlon 10800 21600 nlat 12672 17280 rlt0 -72.006 -80.738 rltf 72.006 80.738 ___________________________ The binary format of the integers is bigendian so the bytes need to be swapped if you are running on an Intel processor. Here is a typical command for swapping bytes: dd if=topo_9.1.img of=topo_9.1.img.swab bs=21600 conv=swab.
To load it into GRASS lat/lon location (spherical):
# (untested) # offset n,s,e,w by 1/2 a grid cell? r.in.bin -b input=topo_9.1b.img output=topo_9.1b \ bytes=2 rows=17280 cols=21600 \ n=80.738 s=-80.738 e=180 w=-180
