Using the South China Sea as a study area, we analyzed and developed the methodology in modeling the seafloor topography, and then evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of the modeling strategy. Based on the proposed modeling approach, the STO_IEU2020 global bathymetry model was constructed using various input data, including the SIO V29.1 gravity anomaly (GA) and vertical gravity gradient anomaly (VGG), as well as bathymetric data from multiple sources (single beam, multi-beam, seismic, Electronic Navigation Chart, and radar sensor). Five evaluation areas located in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans were used to assess the performance of the generated model. The results showed that 79%, 89%, 72%, 92% and 93% of the checkpoints were within the \u00b1100 m range for the five evaluation areas, and with average relative accuracy better than 6%. The generated STO_IEU2020 model correlates well with the SIO V20.1 model, indicating that the proposed construction strategy for global seafloor topography is feasible.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14225744","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,14]],"date-time":"2022-11-14T04:24:10Z","timestamp":1668399850000},"page":"5744","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":12,"title":["A New Global Bathymetry Model: STO_IEU2020"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5528-1730","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Diao","family":"Fan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Engineering University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}]},{"given":"Shanshan","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Engineering University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}]},{"given":"Jinkai","family":"Feng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Engineering University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}]},{"given":"Yongqi","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Engineering University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}]},{"given":"Zhenbang","family":"Xu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Engineering University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0482-2891","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhiyong","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Information Engineering University, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,11,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"777","DOI":"10.2475\/ajs.294.7.777","article-title":"Phanerozoic transgressions and regressions on the continents: A quantitative approach based on areas flooded by the sea and areas of marine and continental deposition","volume":"294","author":"Ronov","year":"1994","journal-title":"Am.
