Geographic ServicesDeep-sea coral and sponge distribution, abundance, and diversity models of the Aleutian Islands (NCEI Accession 0289893)
Metadata Thumbnail Coral and sponge presence, abundance (measured as catch per unit effort (CPUE)), and diversity (number of coral families) models were generated based off of data from bottom trawl surveys in the Aleutian Islands, Alaska from 1991-2011 using the generalize...
Geographic ServicesPredictive models of the abundance and distribution of deep-sea corals and sponges in the Gulf of Alaska (NCEI Accession 0289894)
Metadata Thumbnail Deep-sea coral and sponge presence and abundance (measured as catch per unit effort (CPUE) were generated based off data from bottom trawl surveys between 1993 to 2013. Sponge models were left at the class level due to taxonomic uncertainty. Models of cor...
Geographic ServicesModels of density, presence, and height of deep-sea corals and sponges on the East Bering Sea (NCEI Accession 0296716)
Metadata Thumbnail Predictive models of density, presence, and individual height were generated from deep-sea coral and sponge specimen collected during bottom trawl surveys conducted along the East Bering Sea continental slope (<1200 m). The taxonomic resolution was left a...
Geographic ServicesStacked species distribution models of deep-sea corals and sponges off the United States west coast (NCEI Accession 0303081)
Metadata Thumbnail These data are a set of raster maps of community-level predictions of deep-sea coral and sponge taxa distributions off the continental U.S. west coast, spanning depths from 50 to 1200 m. The raster files come in two versions: one where predicted distribut...
Geographic ServicesPredicted deep-sea coral habitat suitability for the U.S. West Coast (NCEI Accession 0297219)
Metadata Thumbnail Predictive habitat models for deep-sea corals within the U.S. West Coast Exclusive Economic Zone were developed to aid future research and spatial mapping. Models were built at a 500 x 500 m spatial resolution with a range of physical, chemical, and envir...
Geographic ServicesModeled Habitat Suitability for Mesophotic Hard Corals in Au'au Channel, Hawai'i from 2004-09-09 to 2010-07-17 (NCEI Accession 0129788)
Metadata Thumbnail Mesophotic hard corals (MHC) are increasingly threatened by a growing number of anthropogenic stressors, including impacts from fishing, land-based sources of pollution, and ocean acidification. However, little is known about their geographic distribution...
Geographic ServicesMarine organism concentrations, carbonate chemistry variables, and nutrient concentrations from Atlantis ecosystem model simulation output in the California Current from 2013-01-01 to 2053-12-31 to understand vulnerability of California current food webs and economics to ocean acidification (NCEI Accession 0131198)
Metadata Thumbnail This archival package contains the model output of a study to evaluate likely economic and ecological outcomes of ocean acidification in the California Current. Specifically, we have archived netcdf output files from simulations that accomplish the follow...
Geographic ServicesModel output for deep-sea coral habitat suitability in the U.S. North and Mid-Atlantic from 2013 (NCEI Accession 0145923)
Metadata Thumbnail This dataset was created for potential use as an environmental predictor in spatial predictive models of deep-sea coral habitat suitability. Deep-sea corals are of particular conservation concern due to their slow growth rates and vulnerability to disturb...
Geographic ServicesNCCOS Assessment: Island sources and destinations of virtual larvae for the Mariana region, simulation results (2004 to 2012) (NCEI Accession 0156648)
Metadata Thumbnail This tabular dataset is the result of computer simulations conducted by NOAA scientists and their partners to estimate the transport of marine larvae between islands in and around the Mariana Archipelago. The table consists of the number of virtual larvae...
Geographic ServicesNCCOS Assessment: Benthic Habitat Map for the Insular Shelf South of St. Thomas and St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands (NCEI Accession 0170098)
Metadata Thumbnail The dataset describes the spatial distribution of benthic habitats on the insular shelf south of St. Thomas and St. John, U.S. Virgin Islands. These benthic habitats include: (1) Coral Reef Colonized with Live Coral, (2) Pavement Colonized with Live Coral...
