INTEMARES_BancoDeGalicia_Curvatura_Profile_200m
Description
The information contained in this dataset is a raster with the profile curvature of the study area, at 200 m resolution. Curvature is defined as the second derivative of the surface, or the "slope slope". A positive curvature indicates that the surface is convex upwards in that cell. A negative curvature indicates that the surface is concave upwards in that cell. A value of 0 indicates that the surface is flat. The profile curvature is parallel to the direction of maximum slope.
The area covered by the data provided covers SCI ESZZ12002 Banco de Galicia.
This set of information is calculated based on the original bathymetry.
The production of this set of geographical information began in 2010, thanks to the BANGAL 0710 and BANGAL0711 oceanographic campaigns. In 2019, a reanalysis of these data was undertaken with new techniques and algorithms, improving the quality of the data.
The resulting geographic information is stored in a spatial database.
The reprocessing works have been financed thanks to the LIFE IP INTEMARES Project (LIFE-IP INTEMARES - Integrated, Innovative and Participatory Management for N2000 network in the Marine Environment - LIFE15 IPE/ES/000012). This integrated project has the challenge of laying the foundations to effectively manage the marine areas of the Natura 2000 Network and complete the work and progress promoted within the framework of the LIFE + INDEMARES project, which managed to take a great step in terms of declaring new areas.
