Rugosity grid derived from gridded bathymetry of of Galvez Bank, South Galvez Bank, and 11-Mile Reef, Territory of Guam, USA.
Rugosity is derived from gridded (5 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette. Cell values reflect the (surface area) / (planimetric area) ratio for the area contained within that cell's boundaries. They provide indices o...
Slope grid derived from gridded bathymetry of Galvez Bank, South Galvez Bank, and 11-Mile Reef,
Territory of Guam, USA.
Slope is derived from gridded (5 m cell size) multibeam
bathymetry, collected aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette.
Cell values reflect the maximum rate of change (in degrees) in
elevation between neighboring cells derived with the ArcGIS
Spatial Analyst ex...
Bathymetric Position Index (BPI) Zones 5 m grid derived from gridded
bathymetry of Kure Atoll, Hawaii, USA.
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 IKONOS satellite imagery. BPI Zones
was was cre...
