This is a Raster data set. It contains the following raster data types:
Planar coordinates are encoded using Row and Column
Abscissae (x-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 2.965509
Ordinates (y-coordinates) are specified to the nearest 2.965509
Planar coordinates are specified in meters
The horizontal datum used is D_WGS_1984.
The ellipsoid used is WGS_1984.
The semi-major axis of the ellipsoid used is 6378137.000000.
The flattening of the ellipsoid used is 1/298.257224.

BPI Zones were derived as a baseline, or framework, for spatial analysis during future habitat studies around American Samoa.

For the bathymetry this grid was derived from: Soundings have been "cleaned" with a 2nd standard deviation filter to flag outliers (i.e., points beyond the 2nd standard deviation in Simrad bin stat post processing were flagged or removed). Tidal corrections: NOAA, verified, downloaded tide data, preliminary pressure water level data (N1) data are in meters above MLLW datum from station 1770000, Pago Pago, AS. Data have not yet been corrected with differential GPS. Logical_Consistency_Report: These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed.
Derived from bathymetry that was post-processed with tidal corrections: NOAA, verified, downloaded tide data, preliminary pressure water level data (N1) data are in meters above MLLW datum from station 1770000, Pago Pago, AS.
All zoness found were accounted for in the classsification scheme.
These data are believed to be logically consistent, though no tests were performed.
Are there legal restrictions on access or use of the data?
- Access_Constraints: none
- Use_Constraints: NOT for navigational purposes!!!
