This WMS map layer shows selected areas from the dataset "Seabed sediments (grain size), detailed" and indicates where fine sediments are likely to accumulate due to weak bottom currents. Such areas are typically dominated by silty and/or clayey and may include areas with fine-grained sediment deposited on top of coarser material. The map layer is intended for use at map scales 1:10 000 – 1:50 000.

The map service presents a number of thematic layers derived from detailed basis information about the seabed: depth and sediment composition. The following themes are visualized: Bathymetry (terrain), Slope, Anchoring, Diggability, Accumulation basins and Habitats.

Data coverage of marine base maps.

Slope is one of the terrain parameters derived from depth data. Slope shows where there are steep slopes or flat fjord bottom. Slope is presented in five steepness classes measured in degrees.

The map service presents a number of thematic layers derived from detailed basis information about the seabed: depth and sediment composition. The following themes are visualized: Bathymetry (terrain), Slope, Anchoring, Diggability, Accumulation basins and Habitats.

Depth contours and detailed shaded relief images of submarine landscapes with indication of depth. Different grid sizes available for different areas (50m, 10m and 2m)

The map is based on grain size distribution and indicates how easy it would be to dig into the sea floor, and how stable the dugout depression would be.

Anchoring and mooring conditions, as interpreted from bottom type (hard or soft bottom) and depth.
