The dark red represent the sea surface and/or the bottom of ice floating on it. Vertical resolution is 8 meters, temporal resolution is 30 minutes for a 3-year deployment. The main purpose of this instrument is to measure ocean currents at the same spatial and temporal resolution as shown here for backscatter. PII-2012-B passed over the instrument on Sept.-22, 2010 and is here estimated to be about 144 meters thick.https://icyseas.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/pii2012aug30-2012.pngPII2012Aug30-2012Petermann Ice Island 2012 as one piece on Aug.-30, 2012 19:20 UTC in kane Basin over contours of bottom topography.https://icyseas.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/pii2012sept01-2012.pngPII2012Sept01-2012Petermann ice island 2012 (PII-2012) breaking apart on Sept.-1, 2012 near the sill of Nares Strait.

One can define standard gravity as the value of gravity for a perfectly smooth 'idealized' Earth, and the gravity 'anomaly' is a measure of how actual gravity deviates from this standard. Red shows the areas where gravity is stronger than the smooth, standard value, and blue reveals areas where gravity is weaker.
