From: Stratifying ocean sampling globally and with depth to account for environmental variability
Ocean depth (m) and slope (degrees). Red is shallower and higher slope, blue is deeper and flatter slope, respectively. Because colour scales are relative values, actual median (horizontal line), 95 percentile (box), and range (vertical line) are provided as box and whisker plots (format as in Fig. 3). The graph shows how seabed slope, as both mean (narrow red line) and CV (dotted line) are low over the largest area (wide line, thousands Km2) and volume (large dotted line, thousands Km3) of the ocean between 3,000 m to 6,000 m (data from2).
