This toolbox is universally written and can thus be applied for all models. The 'Bathymetry' toolbox allows importing, exporting and merging bathymetry data from a number of on-line and open source datasets. The available datasets are given in the table below

The bathymetry data are available with different resolutions according to different zoom levels indicated in brackets in the column resolution.
The Export key in the Working Space allows the user exporting data within a predefined Polygon. The Polygon can be defined using the key “Draw Polygon” and then drawing a polygon with the mouse (left click to draw the polygon, right click to close it).
“Delete Polygon” is used to delete the polygon.
“Load Polygon” allows loading an existing polygon file in ASCII format (*.pol).
“Save Polygon” allows saving the polygon file in ASCII format (*.pol).
