Slope grid derived from gridded bathymetry of Ofu and Olosega Islands, Territory of American Samoa, USA

Description

Slope is derived from gridded (5 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, collected aboard R/V AHI, and bathymetry derived from multispectral IKONOS satellite imagery. Cell values reflect the maximum rate of change (in degrees) in elevation between neighboring cells derived with the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension. This data set is for Ofu and Olosega Islands of the Manu'a Island group, American Samoa.
