Rugosity grid derived from gridded bathymetry of Apra Harbor, Guam U.S. Territory

Description

Rugosity is derived from gridded (1 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, collected aboard the Survey Vessel Swamp Fox using the 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.
