Description:

Abstract:

This Data Release contains GIS data generated by USGS for use in a BOEM funded project to compare natural rockfish nursery habitat to habitat created by manmade structures in the eastern Santa Barbara Channel. The contours were created from published Data Elevation Models of Carignan and others (2009) and Dartnell and others (2012). Contours were generated using the ESRI Contour tool in spatial analyst. The contour interval is 10 meters. The contours were clipped to exclude areas outside the BOEM rockfish nurseries study area.

Purpose:

These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy makers, and the general public. These data can be used with geographic information systems or other software to identify bathymetric features. These data are not intended to be used for navigation.

The shapefile attributes include FID - Internal Feature Number, SHAPE - feature geometry, ID - feature ID, and CONTOUR - contour depth value. The shapefile can be added to any ESRI ArcMap project.

Entity_Type_Definition_Source: ESRI

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: FID
Attribute_Definition: Internal feature number.

Sequential unique whole numbers that are automatically generated.

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: SHAPE
Attribute_Definition: Feature geometry
Attribute_Definition_Source: ESRI
Attribute_Domain_Values:

Unrepresentable_Domain: Polyline

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: ID
Attribute_Definition:

Unique identifier for each contour line. Value of 0 means the line segment has been generated during the smoothing process.

Attribute_Domain_Values:

Range_Domain:

Range_Domain_Minimum: 1
Range_Domain_Maximum: 170

Attribute:

Attribute_Label: CONTOUR
Attribute_Definition:

Contours are lines that connect points of equal depth based on the bathymetry grid. The contour values indicate the depth value the line represents. This makes it easier to identify geomorphologic features on the seafloor. Values are negative to indicate depth below sea level.

Technical_Prerequisites:

The downloadable data file has been compressed with the "zip" command and can be unzipped with Winzip (or other tool) on Windows systems. To utilize these data, the user must have software capable of uncompressing the WinZip file and importing and viewing an Esri ArcMap SHP. Users should download the accompanying ArcGIS Project File, a compressed (with the "zip" command) version of the ArcMap document (.mxd) that has all the data layers loaded in the table of contents for "Monterey Canyon" and has all the data symbolized as on the data release map sheets. Download and save this ArcGIS project file, including all data layers, to the directory the user has created for this GIS.
