What causes this affect is a combination of the relatively flat seafloor with some low
frequency noise that stretches the data range. Adjusting the
Histogram
allows the user
to confine the stretched color palette to a specified range of values as shown below.
Note that the original
Histogram
stretched the color map from 13.95m to 28.5m while the
revised
Histogram
was set to range just from 21m to 23m depth.
By combining the relief shading settings with the color options and histogram adjustments,
subtle details in the data can be enhanced for better interpretation.
