Attribute_Definition:
Pixel values are obtained through a look-up table that relates the original source data, 2-byte integers representing elevation or bathymetry in meters above or below sea-level, to color. The mapping for ice-covered pixels is made using a different algorithm than for pixels not covered by ice. This is the algorithm used for ice- covered pixels:
if depth <     0 then color = 0x60,0x60,0x60
if depth <   500 then color = 0x80,0x80,0x80
if depth <  1000 then color = 0xa0,0xa0,0xa0
if depth <  1500 then color = 0xc0,0xc0,0xc0
if depth <  2000 then color = 0xe0,0xe0,0xe0
if depth < 32767 then color = 0xff,0xff,0xff
This is the algorithm used for pixels not covered by ice:
if depth < -5000 then color = 0x00,0x00,0x00
if depth < -4000 then color = 0x00,0x00,0x10
if depth < -3000 then color = 0x00,0x00,0x20
if depth < -2000 then color = 0x00,0x00,0x30
if depth < -1000 then color = 0x00,0x00,0x40
if depth <  -900 then color = 0x00,0x00,0x50
if depth <  -800 then color = 0x00,0x00,0x60
if depth <  -700 then color = 0x00,0x00,0x70
if depth <  -600 then color = 0x00,0x00,0x80
if depth <  -500 then color = 0x00,0x00,0x90
if depth <  -400 then color = 0x00,0x00,0xa0
if depth <  -300 then color = 0x00,0x00,0xb0
if depth <  -200 then color = 0x00,0x00,0xc0
if depth <  -190 then color = 0x00,0x00,0xd0
if depth <  -180 then color = 0x00,0x00,0xe0
if depth <  -170 then color = 0x00,0x00,0xf0
if depth <  -160 then color = 0x00,0x00,0xff
