NCCOS Assessment: Southeastern U.S. Predictive Modeling of Deep-Sea Corals and Hardbottom Habitats, 2016-10-01 to 2021-09-30 (NCEI Accession 0282806)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Metadata Last Checked: January 29, 2026 | Last Modified: 2024-09-19T00:00:00.000+00:00
This data collection contains geospatial data from models predicting the spatial distributions of deep-sea corals (DSCs) and hardbottom habitats offshore of the southeastern U.S. It includes a database (.csv text file) containing records of occurrence (presence-absence) for DSCs with associated measures of sampling effort and bottom type from 20 datasets comprised of data from visual field surveys conducted with underwater vehicles. It also includes raster datasets at 100 x 100 m spatial resolution depicting the median and coefficient variation of the predicted occurrence (occupancy probability) for 24 taxa of DSCs (23 genera, 1 family) and hardbottom habitats. Additional raster datasets depict the median and coefficient of variation of the predicted genus richness for the 23 genera of DSCs. The data collection also includes raster datasets at 100 x 100 m spatial resolution depicting each of the 62 spatial environmental predictors considered for fitting the models. For more information, see Poti et al. (2022). The project to compile this model took place between 2016 and 2021, however the model input data range from 2001-2018 and the model output covers the same timeframe.
