The grid is based on gridded (10 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, collected aboard NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai and R/V AHI, and it was created using the Benthic Terrain Modeler (https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/tools/btm.html). Cell values represent one of 14 classes in an index of seafloor terrains. This data set is for the shelf and slope environments of Farallon de Pajaros Island. As part of the northern islands of the Mariana Islands archipelago, the island's offshore shelf is above -60m. A deep shelf (below -60m) northeast of the island may be reminiscent of a second and recently active volcanic cone. The data were derived in support of 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 derivative of bathymetry provides a GIS layer that may be used for benthic and essential fish habitat characterization, and for the study of geologic features. By combining the dataset with bathymetry, backscatter, other derivatives, and in situ data, they collectively compose benthic habitat maps which are designed to be used to understand and predict moderate depth (~10m to 800m) benthic habitats for coral reef ecosystems.

The BTM (written for ArcGIS 8.x or 9.x) may be downloaded from http://dusk2.geo.orst.edu/djl/samoa/tools.html. BPI Structures are derived from two scales of a focal mean analysis on bathymetry and slope. After testing multiple scale factors at other northern islands within CNMI and applying them to Farallon de Pajaros, two scales (50 and 250) best identified fine scale structures for Farallon de Pajaros Island while minimizing noise and optimizing possible reef structures. In order to promote effective and accurate comparisons of islands, the same scale factors were used for the islands within CNMI and Guam. The Terrain Classification Builder (part of the BTM) was used to create the zone and structure grids. Three ranges of slope define flats, slopes, and near vertical: x < 5; 5 < x < 70; x > 70. Depth bounds separated flat structures into shelf (0 to -60m) and deep shelf (-60m to -1000m) environments. The same depths were used for all of the northern islands within CNMI. 2008-11-23T00:00:00 otherRestrictions Metadata Access Constraints: None otherRestrictions Metadata Use Constraints: None annually This metadata was automatically generated from the FGDC Content Standards for Digital Geospatial Metadata standard (version FGDC-STD-001-1998) using the 2016-01-11 version of the FGDC RSE to ISO 19115-2 transform.
