Rugosity 5m grid derived from gridded bathymetry of Brooks Banks, Hawaii, USA

Description

Rugosity is derived from gridded (5 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) / (planimetric area) ratio for the area contained within that cell's boundaries. They provide indices of topographic roughness & convolutedness. This data set is for Brooks Banks, Hawaii, USA.
