Bathymetry of the seas in the West Pacific transition zone based on the ETOPO 2′ digital data

New results of the statistical analysis of the depth distribution in the seas of the West Pacific transition zone based on the ETOPO 2′ digital data are presented in the form of bathygraphic and bathymetric curves with a 100 m depth interval for the entire zone, individual seas, and 5-degree latitudinal bands (transects). The depth distributions show wide diversity in the seas at high correlation over the transects. The new average depths of the seas calculated in this work are higher than those reported in previous works.
