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 Thirty-Five Fathom Bank, and Thirty-Seven Fathom Bank, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas.
