Satellite-derived and lidar bathymetry images of a portion of Puerto Rico

This figure shows three-dimensional visualization of bathymetry in the very southwest corner of Puerto Rico with satellite-derived bathymetry (left) and bathymetric lidar digital elevation model (right). The area outlined in white is land; the varying blue colors illustrate water depths. The two types of bathymetry produce remarkably similar results, though differ in the amount of effort each requires.
