Metadata Thumbnail This dataset is an inventory of seafloor mapping data from hydrographic multibeam sonar surveys and georeferenced benthic photographs and video clips, all collected in and around the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS). The multibeam data sets ...
Downloadable DataPrincipal Components Analysis (PCA) Image used to characterize the complexity of the seafloor around St. John, USVI
Eight complexity surfaces (mean depth, standard deviation of depth, curvature, plan curvature, profile curvature, rugosity, slope, and slope of slope) were stacked and exported to create one image with several different bands (each band representing a spe...

Metadata Thumbnail Multibeam and acoustic backscatter data collected from NOAA Ship Nancy Foster from 2019-07-02 to 2019-07-12. The majority of these data were collected using a Kongsberg EM710, with the most inshore portion collected using a Kongsberg EM2040. Bathymetry gr...
Downloadable DataCurvature Derivative Surface used to characterize the complexity of the seafloor around St. John, USVI
Curvature was calculated from the bathymetry surface for each raster cell using the ArcGIS 3D Analyst "Curvature" Tool. Curvature describes the rate of change of curvature (in 1/100 z units) within a square 3x3 cell window. A negative value denotes concav...
Downloadable DataProfile Curvature Derivative Surface used to characterize the complexity of the seafloor around St. John, USVI
Profile curvature was calculated from the bathymetry surface for each raster cell using the ArcGIS 3D Analyst "Curvature" Tool. Profile curvature describes the rate of change of curvature (parallel to the slope direction) within a square 3x3 cell neighbor...
