Description:
Abstract:
Bathymetric data derived from a multipectral World View-2 satellite
image mosaiced to provide near complete coverage of nearshore
terrain around the islands. Bathymetry values shallower than ~20 m were
derived by gauging the reletive attenuation of coastal, blue, green and yellow
spectral radiance as a function of depth. A multiple linear regression analysis
of coastal, blue, green and yellow band spectral values against depth determined
the variables of y-intercept, coastal,blue, green and yellow slope values.
Variables then used in multivariate slope intercept formula to derive
depth. Variables were adjusted to improve the statistical accuracy and
spatial coverage of the final derived bathymetry product. Digital image
processing to derive depths conducted with the ENVI 4.8 software program
while data editing and integration was performed using ArcGIS 10.1 This
data set is for the shelf environment of Sarigan Island, Mariana.
Purpose:
The data were derived in support of NOAA Coral Reef Conservation
Program goals. Goal 1 is to map all U.S. Coral Reef Ecosystems.
This data set specifically addresses Objective 1 and 4: to develop
high-resolution benthic maps and to characterize priority deep
water reefs and associated habitats. This derived bathymetry provides a
GIS layer with expanded spatial coverage that may be used for benthic and
essential fish habitat characterization, and for the study of geologic features.
By combining the dataset with other bathymetry, backscatter, derivatives,
and in situ data, they collectively compose benthic habitat maps
designed to be used to understand and predict shallow depth (0m to 20m)
benthic habitats for organisms that inhabit coral reef ecosystems.
