48937 VesselDensityTanker2013 Data Set Published / External 55360 Automatic Identification System (AIS) Project Completed 2015-12-09 Automatic Identification Systems (AIS) are a navigation safety device that transmits and monitors the location and characteristics of many vessels in U.S. and international waters in real-time. This dataset represents the density of tanker vessel traffic in 2013 for the contiguous United States offshore waters from tanker vessels with AIS transponders in 100 meter grid cells. The dataset is best interpreted using a high to low density scale and does not represent actual vessel counts. To support coastal and ocean planning and other activities pursuant to the Energy Policy Act, Coastal Zone Management Act, Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act, National Environmental Policy Act, Rivers and Harbors Act and the Submerged Lands Act. 11081 Spatial_Reference_Information: Horizontal_Coordinate_System_Definition: Geographic: Latitude_Resolution: 0.00001 Longitude_Resolution: 0.00001 Geographic_Coordinate_Units: Decimal degrees Geodetic_Model: Horizontal_Datum_Name: North American Datum of 1983 Ellipsoid_Name: Geodetic Reference System 1980 Semi-major_Axis: 6378137.000000 Denominator_of_Flattening_Ratio: 298.257222 Theme Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Science Keywords EARTH SCIENCE > HUMAN DIMENSIONS > ENVIRONMENTAL GOVERNANCE/MANAGEMENT Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category transportation Spatial Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords CONTINENT > NORTH AMERICA > UNITED STATES OF AMERICA Spatial Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Location Keywords OCEAN > ATLANTIC OCEAN > NORTH ATLANTIC OCEAN > GULF OF AMERICA Theme AIS Theme ship traffic Theme shipping Theme tanker Theme vessel density Theme vessel traffic Temporal 2013 Spatial East Coast Spatial Great Lakes Spatial Gulf of Mexico Spatial United States Spatial West Coast Office for Coastal Management Charleston SC Data Set None Planned Map (digital) NOAA makes no warranties or representations whatsoever regarding the availability, quality, accuracy, content, completeness or suitability for the user's needs of such information.

Contact Tyler Christensen (NOS) for details. 2018-02-08 Partial upload of Positional Accuracy fields only. The attributes in this dataset are believed to be accurate. Maximum scale of intended use is 1:80,000. Spatial and attribute properties are believed to be complete, although attribute information has been simplified. Geometric thresholds from original data are preserved. No tests have been completed for exhaustiveness. These data are believed to be logically consistent. Geometry is topologically clean. 2013 Tanker Vessel Density Department of Commerce (DOC), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), Office for Coastal Management (OCM); Department of Interior (DOI), Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) 2015-12-09 Range 2013-01-01 2013-12-31 https://marinecadastre.gov/data/ 2013 East Coast, Great Lakes, Gulf of Mexico, and West Coast Tanker Vessel Densities | Source Geospatial Form: raster digital data | Type of Source Media: online 1 1.
