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 NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette. BPI Zones was created using the Benthic Terrain Modeler (https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast//tools/btm/). Cell values represent one of 4 classes (crest, depression, slope, flat) in an index of seafloor terrains.
