Get started with ArcGIS Bathymetry

ArcGIS Bathymetry is a system for producing and managing bathymetric data. ArcGIS Bathymetry provides tools for creating a Bathymetric Information System (BIS), creating products, and editing and exporting BIS data.

Bathymetry tools

ArcGIS Bathymetry includes the following:

  • Tools that create and manage a BIS:
    • Create BIS
      Note:

      A BIS created at ArcGIS Pro 3.1 is not compatible with ArcGIS Bathymetry tools at ArcGIS Pro 3.2. A new BIS must be created with the Create BIS tool at 3.2 to use with Bathymetry tools at 3.2.

    • Add Data To BIS
    • Add Point Cloud To BIS
  • A tool that creates products and exports from BIS data: BIS To Mosaic Dataset
  • Tools that generalize soundings and bathymetric triangulated irregular network (TIN) data:

The Bathymetry toolbox, toolbox documentation, and product files are available from My Esri as an additional ArcGIS Pro download under Data and Content.
