Full Citation Examples

Abstract

This dataset represents depth uncertainty predictions from a bathymetric model developed for the New York offshore spatial planning area. The model also includes spatially-explicit depth estimates represented in another raster dataset. Uncertainty is defined as the standard error of depth estimates from model output. The model used to derive depth estimates and corresponding uncertainty builds on previous predictive bathymetric modeling approaches in the region (e.g. Calder, 2006), provides a continuous gridded bathymetric surface, and allows users to view and explore spatial variation in the vertical accuracy of depth predictions. The spatial resolution of the model is identical to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Coastal Relief Model (CRM; horizontal resolution approximately 83.8 m) in the study area and was built from the same database of hydrographic survey points.

Short Name: New_York_Bathymetry_Model_Uncertainty
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2012-05
Abstract:

This dataset represents depth uncertainty predictions from a bathymetric model developed for the New York offshore spatial planning area. The model also includes spatially-explicit depth estimates represented in another raster dataset. Uncertainty is defined as the standard error of depth estimates from model output. The model used to derive depth estimates and corresponding uncertainty builds on previous predictive bathymetric modeling approaches in the region (e.g. Calder, 2006), provides a continuous gridded bathymetric surface, and allows users to view and explore spatial variation in the vertical accuracy of depth predictions. The spatial resolution of the model is identical to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Coastal Relief Model (CRM; horizontal resolution approximately 83.8 m) in the study area and was built from the same database of hydrographic survey points.

Purpose:

These depth uncertainty predictions were developed to be viewed along with model depth estimates. Together depth predictions and uncertainty estimates were made to prioritize locations for new bathymetric surveys with high uncertainty and better understand the reliability of depth predictions and derived spatial layers (e.g., benthic habitats, positions of depth contours).

Entity Attribute Overview:

Raster values correspond to estimates of depth uncertainty below MLLW. Estimates are based on a bathymetric geostatistical model developed using NOS hydrographic surveys. Uncertainty is defined by the standard error of model output.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 600506
Description:

A geostatistical modeling approach was used to predict a continuous, gridded bathymetric surface from scattered sounding points and to generate corresponding spatially-explicit uncertainty estimates. Geostatistical methods are based on the premise that neighboring samples are more similar than samples farther away (Tobler, 1970), a phenomenon known as spatial autocorrelation. Spatial autocorrelation was detected, quantified and modeled by semivariogram analysis, and used to make predictions at locations that have not been measured. See the following report for more information on this layer's lineage. Menza, C., B.P. Kinlan, D.S. Dorfman, M. Poti and C. Caldow (eds.). 2012.
