Seabed sediments (grain size), detailed
Definition: The data set shows the grain size composition in the upper part of the seabed sediments (upper 0-50 cm of the seabed). The attribute table for the data set provides information on the different grain size classes and which term is used based on the content of different fractions in sediments. By applying different symbologies designed to show the content of individual particle size fractions, the dataset can be displayed as a series of more specialized maps, e.g. Sediment mud content or Dominant grain size.
