SWE_of_Bathymetry.m is a Matlab-based geomorphometric algorithm to obtain the numerical description of both magmatic and tectonic crust in a slow-spreading ridge through a series of calculation based on the distribution of the azimuth and plunge observed in the seafloor morphology.
Input: A gridded shipborne multibeam bathymetry (depths in metres) in *.xyz format (here: 'Input_Bathymetry_15s.xyz')
Output
- Terrain eccentricity (here: 'Output_eccentricity.xyz')
- Weight matrix: 1-sin(slope) (here: 'Output_weight.xyz')
- SWE: Slope-weighted eccentricity (here: 'Output_SWE.xyz')
- Masked SWE (here: 'Output_SWE_masked.xyz')
Each output is exported in *.xyz format. The resulting *.xyz data can be converted into *.grd using the xyz2grd function in GMT (http://gmt.soest.hawaii.edu/doc/5.3.2/xyz2grd.html)
The shipborne multibeam bathymetry data sample is downloaded from the GMRT MapTool (https://www.gmrt.org/GMRTMapTool/) with the extent xmin/xmax/ymin/ymax of -46/-44/12.5/13.15
