- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
BPI Zones are derived from gridded (20 m cell size) multibeam
bathymetry, collected aboard R/V AHI and NOAA ship Hi'ialakai.
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 Swains Island, American Samoa.
- Purpose:
-
The data were derived in support of NOAA 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 - 150m) benthic habitats for different
organisms that inhabit coral reef ecosystems.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
Gridded multibeam 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 the 218' NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai. The process for deriving the
gridded (20 m cell size) multibeam data is described in baker_20m.asc.txt.
The resulting grid (baker_20m.grd) was used to produce the BPI Zones.

Bathymetric Position Index Zones were derived from the gridded
multibeam bathymetry (baker_20m) 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 400 was chosen as best identifying broad scale
zones for Baker Island 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.
