Perspective view of the San Diego multibeam bathymetry looking south along the Loma Sea Valley. Coronado Bank is to the west (right) of the sea valley. A series of plunge poles have formed within the sea valley (see profile below). The land imagery in the background is a combination of Landsat-7 imagery and USGS DEMs. The distance across the bottom of the image is about 9.5 km. The vertical exaggeration is 2X.
