Introduction

...

To determine the foot of the continental slope we need bathymetric profiles. These profiles will be used as input to the bathymetric profile foot of slope analysis tool in the next chapter. Bathymetric profiles can be imported from single beam or generated from bathymetric grids. In this tutorial we will use the atlantis seabed surface grid (similar to Etopo1) to generate bathymetric profiles. The project already contains several bathymetric profiles grouped into different areas. Our task is to complete the foot of slope analysis in region called East Sea.
