Unique identifier for ROUND record.

Mission identifier.

The name of the region surveyed in the Pacific Islands region: American Samoa, Pacific Remote Island Areas, Mariana Archipelago, main Hawaiian Islands, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands.

Name of island or atoll surveyed in the Pacific Islands region (REGION_NAME).

The code for the site surveyed at the island or atoll (ISLAND). Combines a 3-letter island code (ISLANDCODE) with a 2-4 digit site number.

Latitude in decimal degrees, WGS84, for the given SITE.

Longitude in decimal degrees, WGS84 for the given SITE.

The zone for the given SITE (Forereef, Backreef, Protected Slope, Lagoon).

Classification of depth (shallow, mid, deep) based on midpoint between minimum and maximum depths of a given SITE. Shallow: >0-6 m, Mid: >6-18 m, Deep: >18-30 m

Unique identifier created each time a SITE is surveyed on a DATE_.

Local date the survey was conducted.

4-digit year the survey was conducted (DATE_).

Type of transect (box or line). Deprecated as of 2017 surveys.

Parallel bearing of transect.

Downslope bearing of transect. Climate sites set up in 'alongshore' lines (usually a result of suitable benthic substrate availability) will not have a down slope heading.

Frequency (0-30) is tallied if the maximum height of the tallest reef structure measured within a 0.5 square meter area on either side of each meter along a 15-m transect is between 0-20 cm elevation. Total frequency for all 5 substrate height bins should equal 30.

Frequency (0-30) is tallied if the maximum height of the tallest reef structure measured within a 0.5 square meter area on either side of each meter along a 15-m transect is between 20-50 cm elevation. Total frequency for all 5 substrate height bins should equal 30.

Frequency (0-30) is tallied if the maximum height of the tallest reef structure measured within a 0.5 square meter area on either side of each meter along a 15-m transect is between 50-100 cm elevation. Total frequency for all 5 substrate height bins should equal 30.

Frequency (0-30) is tallied if the maximum height of the tallest reef structure measured within a 0.5 square meter area on either side of each meter along a 15-m transect is between 100-150 cm elevation. Total frequency for all 5 substrate height bins should equal 30.

Frequency (0-30) is tallied if the maximum height of the tallest reef structure measured within a 0.5 square meter area on either side of each meter along a 15-m transect is >150 cm elevation. Total frequency for all 5 substrate height bins should equal 30.

Shallowest point in the NCRMP climate station (SITE) in feet.

Deepest point in the NCRMP climate station (SITE) in feet.

Height of tallest reef structure present within the NCRMP climate station (SITE) in centimeters.

Free urchin abundance within the NCRMP climate station (SITE), estimated by DACOR, an abundance code based on visual estimation: dominant (D), abundant (A), common (C), occasional (O), and rare (R). DACOR categories are quantified as:

D: 101-999;

A: 51-100;

C: 21-50;

O: 6-20;

R: 0-5.

Boring urchin abundance within the NCRMP climate station (SITE), estimated by DACOR, an abundance code based on visual estimation: dominant (D), abundant (A), common (C), occasional (O), and rare (R). DACOR categories are quantified as:

D: 501-999;

A: 251-500;

C: 101-250;

O: 26-100;

R: 0-25.
