If this is interesting to you, you should definitely check out the Bay Model (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army_Corps_of_Engineers_Bay_Model" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Army_Corps_of_Engineers_B...</a>). Its a scale model of the SF Bay and the Delta in Sausalito that was built by the Army Corps of Engineers. Its admission free!
Wow. USGS has a store with this poster: <a href="https://store.usgs.gov/b2c_usgs/catalog/setCurrentItem/(isQuery=yes&xcm=r3standardpitrex_prd&query=*golden+gate+under*&layout=6_1_61_58&uiarea=2&ctype=areaDetails&next=seeItem&carea=%24ROOT&citem=00000001550000000030)/.do" rel="nofollow">https://store.usgs.gov/b2c_usgs/catalog/setCurrentItem/(isQu...</a><p>In case that brutal link doesn't work: go to <a href="https://store.usgs.gov/" rel="nofollow">https://store.usgs.gov/</a> and search for "Under the Golden Gate Bridge".<p>The poster is basically 1M^2 so is a decent size.<p>EDIT: Not 1M^3, but 1M^2. We'll have to wait for the 1M^3 version...
><i>The water depths have a 4x vertical exaggeration while the land areas have a 2x vertical exaggeration.</i><p>Can someone clarify what this means?
So, there is a rock jutting up just inside the bay from the gate, right out of the tidal channel to what looks like 40-60 feet. That is PERFECT for king salmon fishing I'm betting. Usually I go outside the gate, but right there as the tide comes in? Probably filled with fish.<p>Only problem is it is right in the sea lanes!
I have found some more information in 2010.

It says 'meter scale'. I would think accounting for tidal heights with gps and other sensors, silt drift while scanning, they would be getting 'half-meter' minimum. I am not a geophysical studen...just thought they would get better resolution.
well i guess the idea i had for creating wall to retain elevating water out of the bay is never going to work now.<p>RIP inland bay area real estate when the water levels raise. :(
