Description
Slope is derived from gridded (5 m cell size) bathymetry, from three sources: Multibeam bathymetry collected by Coral Reef Ecosystem Division aboard NOAA R/V AHI, and NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai; Multibeam bathymetry collected aboard the US Naval Ship Sumner, and lidar, both collected by Naval Oceanographic Office; 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 Tinian and Aguijan Islands, and Tatsumi Bank, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas (CNMI).
