Caption from Oceanus magazine, Vol. 52, No. 1, pg. 8:
Multibeam sonar aboard the research vessel Alucia provided 1-meter-per-pixel resolution of seafloor bathymetry (bottom), compared with 800-meter-per-pixel resolution of the same area provided by satellite altimetry data (top). The higher resolution revealed clear images of seamounts from 650 to 10,000 feet in diameter and 325 to 1,000 feet in height.
