Images of Ocean Floor Show Effects of Tsunami

Posted by Zonk on from the chaos-theory-in-action dept.

Iphtashu Fitz writes "This week the UK's Royal Navy presented images taken by the survey ship HMS Scott of the damage to the floor of the Indian Ocean that triggered the tsunami two months ago. The Scott has a high-resolution multi-beam sonar that let it generate highly detailed images of the sea floor, some 200m to 5000m below sea level. An image showing the scale of the damage, and the full presentation made by the Commanding Officer of HMS Scott (38MB PowerPoint) are available. The presentation contains a number of images that have more detail than those available on the websites."

    The Home Office server (where the powerpoint file is hosted) seems to be crawling along. (Dumb of them not to convert the presentation to web pages, though.) But the Southhampton University and Royal Navy web sites are totally Slashdotted. I just hope that Commander Bond doesn't decide that this is a DDOS attack!
