Description:

Abstract:

This biotope raster is part of a data release of the Oregon outer continental shelf (OCS) proposed wind farm map site. The biotopes mapped in this area have been numbered to indicate combinations of seafloor hardness, ruggedness and depth associated with biotopes derived by analysis of video data as described in the accompanying Open-File Report (Cochrane and others, 2017). The map was created using video and multibeam echosounder bathymetry and backscatter data collected in 2014 and processed in 2015 (Cochrane and others, 2015).

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 local seafloor character.

Supplemental_Information:

Any use of trade, product, or firm names is for descriptive purposes only and does not imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form, as well as in Esri format, this metadata file may include some Esri-specific terminology.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Oregon State University performed cluster analyses that identified fish and invertebrate assemblages and the seafloor character and depth each assemblage is related to (biotopes) within the study area.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: Bathymetry; Backscatter Intensity; Video
Process_Date: 20160620

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Bathymetry data were classified into the depth ranges of the biotopes; each depth class was given a unique integer value in multiples of 10. Seafloor character data were used to classify substrate type. Each seafloor character substrate type has a unique integer value in multiples of 1. The classified depth range and seafloor character rasters were combined through raster addition. The resulting raster was then re-classified to a raster with the biotope numbers (0-7).
