Global distribution of nearshore slopes (Version 1)
Global distribution of nearshore slopes (Version 1) is an open dataset published by 4TU.ResearchData (4TU.Centre for Research Data), under CC BY 4.0. It describes nearshore slopes. Coverage: global (ice-free coastline, excluding river inlets and major ports).
About this dataset
Global nearshore slope estimations using an interpolated MERIT+GEBCO merged dataset with the Open Street Maps (OSM) coastline as Mean Sea Level (MSL). The slope was calculated from elevation profiles that were created by transects perpendicular to the OSM coastline, positioned every 1 km in the alongshore direction. The depths of closure that were used for the slope estimation are also provided.
