Description
BPI Structures are derived from two scales of 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 Structures was created using the Benthic Terrain Modeler (https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/tools/btm.html). Cell values represent one of 13 classes in an index of seafloor terrains. This data set is for the bank top, edge, and lagoon environments of Kure Atoll, Hawaii, USA.
