    • Slope 10 m grid derived from gridded bathymetry of Farallon de Pajaros (Uracas) Island, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI), USA

    Metadata Updated: March 22, 2025

    Slope is derived from gridded (10 m cell size) multibeam bathymetry, collected aboard NOAA Ship Hiialaka'i and R/V AHI. Cell values reflect the maximum rate of change (in degrees) in elevation between neighboring cells derived with the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension. This data set is for the shelf environment of Farallon de Pajaros Island. CNMI and Guam slope maps are all symbolized with the same classified color ramp (with the exception of a unique maximum value) in order to provide a standard for qualitative comparisons between islands.
