- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
BPI Zones are derived from a focal mean
analysis on bathymetry and slope. The grid is based on
gridded (5 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, collected aboard R/V AHI
merged with seafloor depths derived from multispectral
IKONOS satellite imagery. BPI Zones was created using the Benthic
Terrain Modeler (http://www.csc.noaa.gov/products/btm/). Cell values
represent one of 4 classes (crest, depression, slope, flat) in an index of seafloor terrains.
This data set is for Rose Atoll, American Samoa.
- Purpose:
-
The data were derived in support of Coral Reef Conservation
Program goals. Goal 1 is to map all U.S. Coral Reef Ecosystems.
This data set specifically addresses Objective 1 and 4: to develop
high-resolution benthic maps and to characterize priority deep
water reefs and associated habitats. This derivative of
bathymetry provides a GIS layer that may be used for benthic and
essential fish habitat characterization, and for the study of
geologic features. By combining the dataset with bathymetry,
backscatter, other derivatives, and in situ data, they
collectively compose benthic habitat maps which are designed to
be used to understand and predict moderate depth (~20m to ~150m)
benthic habitats for different organisms that inhabit coral
reef ecosystems.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Gridded bathymetry data were collected aboard the R/V AHI
(Acoustic Habitat Investigator), a 25' survey launch owned and
operated by the NOAA Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center in
Honolulu, HI and derived from multispectral IKONOS satellite
imagery. The metadata for the bathymetry is documented in
the product metadata, rose_5m_dbmb.asc.txt

Bathymetric Position Index Zones were derived from the gridded
multibeam and IKONOS merged bathymetry (rose_5m_dbmb) using the Benthic Terrain Modeler
(BTM). The BTM (written for ArcGIS 8.x or 9.x) may be downloaded from
http://dusk2.geo.orst.edu/djl/samoa/tools.html.
BPI Zones are derived from a focal mean analysis on bathymetry and slope. After testing
3 different scalefactors, a scalefactor of 200 was chosen as best identifying broad scale
zones for Rose Atoll while minimizing noise and optimizing possible reef structures (also
after Lundblad et al. 2006; see Supplemental_Information). Two
ranges of slope define flat, and slope: x < 5; and x > 5. There may be edge effects at the
outer extent of the data. Some additional artifacts are visible on the reef crest; these
may be due to noise in the original IKONOS image, or discrepancies between the merged
IKONOS and multibeam bathymetry.
