Sediment distribution maps of for the Gulf of Mexico and US South Atlantic using compositional kriging of public datasets collected between 1959-01-01 to 2003-12-31 (NCEI Accession 0291056)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 27, 2026 at 09:26 PM | Dataset Last Updated: May 10, 2024 at 12:00 AM
Maps of sediment fractions for the US Gulf of Mexico (GOM) and the US South Atlantic (SA) are provided as csv files. The spatial resolution of each output file is 1km and uses compositional kriging with input from the dbSEABED and usSEABED databases which compiles public seafloor datasets. Output CSV files include the fraction of sand, mud, and gravel as well as standard deviations of each.
