Abstract

The available bathymetry data of the Issyk-Kul Lake from different sources are analyzed and corrected for mutual consistency and deviation from the GPS coordinates on the shoreline. As a result, a gridded bathymetry of the Lake with 360×360 m bin size suitable for use in numerical circulation models is compiled and made available on the Internet for free download.
