Abstract

This dataset represents relative seabird abundance predictions from spatial models developed for the New York offshore spatial planning area. This raster was derived from multiple individual species season models. The model also includes spatially-explicit uncertainty estimates represented in another raster dataset. Raster values represent a dimensionless number scaled between 0 and 1, where values closer to 0 indicate greater certainty. The relative uncertainty value at each location is the same for all hotspot quantities (abundance, richness, and diversity index), because it is a function of the underlying trend and spatial model uncertainty for each species/group.

Title: NOAA ESRI Grid - predictions of relative uncertainty for seabird diversity metrics in the New York offshore planning area by NOAA Biogeography Branch
Short Name: New_York_Seabird_Error
Status: Completed
Publication Date: 2012-05
Abstract:

This dataset represents relative seabird abundance predictions from spatial models developed for the New York offshore spatial planning area. This raster was derived from multiple individual species season models. The model also includes spatially-explicit uncertainty estimates represented in another raster dataset. Raster values represent a dimensionless number scaled between 0 and 1, where values closer to 0 indicate greater certainty. The relative uncertainty value at each location is the same for all hotspot quantities (abundance, richness, and diversity index), because it is a function of the underlying trend and spatial model uncertainty for each species/group.

Purpose:

These seabird diversity predictions were developed to be viewed along with model uncertainty estimates. Together seabird abundance predictions and uncertainty estimates were made to identify seabird hotspots and coldspots. These data are intended to support offshore spatial planning.

Process Steps

Process Step 1

CC ID: 600539
Description:

Seabird sightings in conjunction with environmental covariates were used to fit spatial statistical models and produce predictive maps of seabird distribution and relative abundance in the NY region representative of the period from 1980-1988. Individual species were modeled in 4 seasons when sufficient data was available. We calculated a weighted average of the relative uncertainty associated with each annual and seasonal predicted sighting-per-unit-effort map. Weights used were proportional to the frequency of the species in the corresponding season or year. 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. A Biogeographic Assessment of Seabirds, Deep Sea Corals and Ocean Habitats of the New York Bight: Science to Support Offshore Spatial Planning.
