This image may not be used to state or imply ESA endorsement of any company or product Marine gravity map. Gravity map centred over the Indian Ocean, showing the features of the seafloor. This map is based on satellite altimetry data measuring sea-surface height that has been used to derive a map of the seafloor. This new map exposes thousands of previously uncharted seamounts, ridges and deep ocean structures. Based on data from the ESA CryoSat mission and the CNES-NASA Jason-1 satellite.
