Description
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 created using the Benthic Terrain Modeler (https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/tools/btm.html). Cell values represent one of 4 classes (crest, depression, flat, slope) in an index of seafloor terrains. This data set is for the bank top, edge and lagoon environments of Kure Atoll, Hawaii, USA.
