Abstract

AbstractThis data descriptor elaborates the details of a high-resolution digital bathymetric elevation model generated for the region, namely, Adam’s Bridge, which encompasses a chain of shoals between Rameswaram Island, off the southeastern coast of Tamil Nadu, India, and Mannar Island, off the northwestern coast of Sri Lanka. The proposed dataset has taken advantage of the photon penetrability in the shallow waters by the green laser of ICESat-2 LiDAR to derive the seabed topography. Seafloor depths from ~0.2 million geolocated photons of ICESat-2 for the study area were accrued and interpolated to generate a 10 m digital bathymetric elevation model. Adam’s Bridge, an isthmus and submerged reefal assemblage in shallow and super-shallow waters, is a feature of scientific curiosity. Our dataset has the potential to enhance the understanding of Adam’s Bridge structure by providing substantial information to reconstruct its evolution.
