Bathymetric Position Index (BPI) Zones 5m grid derived from gridded bathymetry of Saipan Island, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas
BPI Zones are derived from a focal mean analysis on bathymetry and slope. The bathymetry grid (5 m cell size) is derived from bathymetry from two sources: Multibeam bathymetry collected by Coral Reef Ecosystem Division aboard NOAA R/V AHI, and NOAA Ship Hi'ialakai; multibeam bathymetry collected aboard the US Naval Ship Sumner by the Naval Oceanographic Office, and lidar, also collected by the Naval Oceanographic Office. BPI Zones was created using the Benthic Terrain Modeler (https://coast.noaa.gov/digitalcoast/tools/btm.html). Cell values represent one of four classes in an index of seafloor terrain; flats, depressions, crests and slopes. This data set is for Saipan Islands, Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas (CNMI).
