Claim 11:
12. The method as recited in claim 11, wherein generating, at the server device, synthetic bathymetry of the water body based on the one or more fractal dimensions using one or more fractal terrain generation techniques includes:
starting with a zero terrain/bathymetry height h(x, y) on a finest terrain/bathymetry grid sized nx×ny;
for each of a plurality of scales coarser than the terrain/bathymetry resolution of the finest terrain/bathymetry grid,
generating a spatial distribution of displacements at that scale from the tabled distribution of amplitude and orientation and the generated spatial displacement,
interpolating the spatial distribution of displacement to the finest terrain/bathymetry grid and sum into the terrain/bathymetry height h(x, y).
