The dataset shows terrain variations on the seabed. These terrain models have been produced by using high quality hydrographic survey data. The data in this dataset, which are close to the shoreline, includes some coverage in Central Norway (large areas in Hordaland, and otherwise, certain areas in the counties of Sogn and Fjordane, Møre and Romsdal, and Trøndelag). But the dataset has the best coverage in the areas in Northern Norway, with almost continuous coverage north of 67 degrees. In ocean areas, the coverage is largely dependent on the surveys organized by the MAREANO program (for more information: www.mareano.no/en). MAREANO has surveyed the ocean areas off the coast of all of the northern counties: Møre and Romsdal, Trøndelag, Nordland, Troms, and Finnmark; plus the eastern part of the Barents Sea, and, otherwise, certain areas around Svalbard. The coverage area is extended continuously and the data is updated whenever new hydrographic surveys are finished being processed. The resolutions of the terrain models are 5m x 5m. Partners in Norge Digital have the possibility of downloading data from the Norge Digital downloading service. Other users must request the data by sending an application or an order to: sjodata@kartverket.no.

In areas farther from the shore, the coverage is largely dependent on the surveys organized by the MAREANO program (for more information: www.mareano.no/en). MAREANO has surveyed the ocean areas along the coast of all of these northern counties: Møre and Romsdal, Trøndelag, Nordland, Troms, and Finnmark; plus the eastern part of the Barents Sea, and, in addition, certain areas around Svalbard. The coverage area is being extended continuously and the data is updated whenever new hydrographic surveys are finished being processed. The resolutions of the terrain models are 25m x 25m.

The map layer provides an overview of the dominant sedimentation environment in the mapped area. This is an interpretation of the processes that prevail on and near the seabed in terms of deposition, transport and erosion of sediments. The map has been digitized for use at a scales of about 1:20 000 (detailed).
