An improved bathymetric portrayal of the Arctic Ocean: Implications for ocean modeling and geological, geophysical and oceanographic analyses

TLDR
In this paper, a new version of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) is presented in the form of a digital grid on a Polar Stereographic projection with grid cell spacing of 2 × 2 km.
Abstract
[1] A digital representation of ocean floor topography is essential for a broad variety of geological, geophysical and oceanographic analyses and modeling. In this paper we present a new version of the International Bathymetric Chart of the Arctic Ocean (IBCAO) in the form of a digital grid on a Polar Stereographic projection with grid cell spacing of 2 × 2 km. The new IBCAO, which has been derived from an accumulated database of available bathymetric data including the recent years of multibeam mapping, significantly improves our portrayal of the Arctic Ocean seafloor.
