Rugosity grid derived from gridded bathymetry of of Galvez Bank, South Galvez Bank, and 11-Mile Reef, Territory of Guam, USA.

Description

Rugosity is derived from gridded (5 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, aboard NOAA Ship Oscar Elton Sette. 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 Galvez Bank, South Galvez Bank, and 11-Mile Reef, Territory of Guam, USA.
