Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) for the Turks and Caicos shallow water areas (Allen Coral Atlas)

Satellite-Derived Bathymetry (SDB) is a technique that allows to create nautical charts and bathymetric maps of shallow waters and coastal regions using satellite imagery. This dataset comprises a subset of the Allen Coral Atlas global SDB dataset for areas up to 15 m depth. The bathymetry maps are created at a resolution of 10 m using the Google Earth Engine (GEE) Sentinel-2 surface reflectance dataset. Sentinel-2 satellite images with minimal cloud coverage and turbid water over 12 months are selected. The input dataset is aggregated into a single clean mosaic output using the median depth value over 12 months.

The extent of this subset is limited to the Turks and Caicos Island, the global dataset is available for download at: https://allencoralatlas.org
