Rugosity 10 m grid derived from gridded bathymetry of Alamagan Island, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), USA
Description
Rugosity is derived from gridded (10 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, collected aboard NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai and R/V AHI, using the Benthic Terrain Modeler with rugosity methods by Jeff Jenness (2003). Cell values reflect the surface area to planimetric area ratio for the area contained within that cell's neighborhood. They provide indices of topographic roughness & convolutedness. This data set is for the shelf and slope environment of Alamagan Island.
