The Benthic Terrain Modeler is a collection of ESRI ArcGIS-based tools used with bathymetric data sets to examine the deepwater benthic environment. Users can create data sets of characteristics such as slope, bathymetric position, and rugosity and then define the relationships between them using a data dictionary that defines, or classifies, benthic terrain.
