This atlas combines the newest data on the Atlantic accumulated over the last decades in the form of more than 120 individual full color maps, profiles and illustrations in one "Atlantic-sized" (65 x 47 cm!) volume. It was produced under the auspices of UNESCO. Full colored maps (18 of them are 2-page spreads) and profiles are a unique compilation of data about the Atlantic from all disciplines of geology and geophysics, normally strewn over the literature. They provide information on ocean floor relief, magnetic anomalies, gravity anomalies, sea surface heights, geothermal regions, seismicity, the deep structure of the Atlantic crust, thickness of sediment cover, types of sediments, nature of basement and deep sea drilling locations in the Atlantic Ocean, to name a few. Sections and maps of this atlas were compiled by a team of over 140 specialists from oceanographic institutions from 13 countries in a combined, interdisciplinary effort. Integration of the data across disciplines was encouraged by a meeting-review cycle which involved all contributing teams. Phantastic cartographic quality of the maps (prepared by experts of the Research Institute of Geodesy, Aerophotography and Cartography, Moscow) and excellent print on high quality map paper make this atlas an invaluable work of reference. It intends to complement the Geological/Geophysical Atlas of the India Ocean (1975).
