Abstract

This dataset represents sediment size predictions from a sediment spatial model developed for the New York offshore spatial planning area. The model also includes spatially-explicit uncertainty estimates represented in another raster dataset. The predictive model of mean grain size was developed building upon the data compilation and analytical framework laid out by Goff et al. (2008).

Title: NOAA ESRI Grid - sediment size predictions model in New York offshore planning area from Biogeography Branch
Short Name: New_York_Mean_Grain_Size
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2012-05
Abstract:

This dataset represents sediment size predictions from a sediment spatial model developed for the New York offshore spatial planning area. The model also includes spatially-explicit uncertainty estimates represented in another raster dataset. The predictive model of mean grain size was developed building upon the data compilation and analytical framework laid out by Goff et al. (2008).

Purpose:

Mapping seafloor features, including sediment characteristics and distribution, provides crucial information for a number of coastal and marine spatial planning applications. Seafloor maps can be used to help identify critical habitat areas for benthic organisms (e.g., clams, corals, demersal fish), select appropriate offshore construction sites, and plan sand/gravel mining operations.

Data Set Information

Data Set Scope Code: Data Set
Maintenance Frequency: None Planned
Data Presentation Form: raster digital data
Entity Attribute Overview:

Raster values correspond to estimates of mean grain size on the seafloor. Estimates are based on a sediment geostatistical model developed using seafloor sediment samples. Mean grain size is reported in phi units, where phi = -log2(mean grain diameter in mm) (Krumbein and Sloss 1963). In this scale, gravel corresponds to -6 to -1 phi, sand corresponds to -1 to 4 phi , and mud corresponds to 4 to 12 phi .

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 600517
Description:

A geostatistical modeling approach was used to predict a continuous, gridded sediment size prediction surface from scattered sediment smaple 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.
