41003 Estimated seabird diversity uncertainty Entity Published / External 38958 NOAA ESRI Grid - predictions of relative uncertainty for seabird diversity metrics in the New York offshore planning area by NOAA Biogeography Branch Data Set Completed Estimated seabird diversity uncertainty from spatial statistical models developed by the NOAA Biogeography Branch. We operationally define seabirds as all avian species regularly sighted over marine waters. Given this definition, most species included in this chapter belong to the following taxonomic orders: Charadriiformes (gulls, terns, auks, phalaropes), Pelecaniformes (gannets, pelicans, and cormorants), and Procellariiformes (shearwaters, fulmars, petrels). The relative uncertainty value is 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; these are 3 separate rasters), because it is a function of the underlying trend and spatial model uncertainty for each species/group. | Description Source: NOAA Converted from FGDC using 'fgdc_to_inport_xml_entity.pl' script. gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:41003 Tyler Christensen 2017-04-06T10:31:50 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2022-08-09T17:11:24 2017-04-17 National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science NCCOS 1002 Public No 2017-04-17 1 Year 2018-04-17
