Normalized Avian Abundance: Crustacean Eaters

For all species together and for each group of species, total abundance maps are calculated in a Geographic Information System (GIS) by stacking each individual species predicted annual abundance layers and summing the values of the pixels in each resulting "column". The result is the total predicted abundance of all individuals (of the included species) in that cell.

This dataset was created for the Northwest Atlantic Marine Ecoregional Assessment (NAMERA) in order to map soft sediments based on their grain size (in mm). This version (2) is an update of the original 2010 soft sediments layer using new data. THIS DATASET WAS NOT CREATED FOR NAVIGATIONAL PURPOSES AND AS SUCH SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR NAVIGATION.

Topography, ETOPO1, 0.0166667 degrees, Global (longitude -180 to 180), (Ice Sheet Surface)

ETOPO1 is a 1 arc-minute global relief model of Earth's surface that integrates land topography and ocean bathymetry. It was built from numerous global and regional data sets. This is the 'Ice Surface' version, with the top of the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets. The horizontal datum is WGS-84, the vertical datum is Mean Sea Level. Keywords: Bathymetry, Digital Elevation. This is the grid/node-registered version: the dataset's latitude and longitude values mark the centers of the cells.
