Purple sea urchin habitat suitability model for Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary Biogeographic Assessment

The National Marine Sanctuary Program (NMSP) updates and revises the management plans for each of its 13 sanctuaries. This process, which is open to the public, enables each site to revisit the reasons for sanctuary designation and assess whether they are meeting their goals, as well as to set new goals consistent with the mandates of the National Marine Sanctuaries Act. Issues raised by the public during this process are evaluated and a determination is made as to whether they will be incorporated into the updated plan. Many of these issues focus on topics such as the implementation of marine zoning or sanctuary boundary adjustments, both of which require information on the distribution of resources within and around the sanctuary. Recognizing this, NMSP and NOAA?s National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) formalized an agreement to collaborate in the revision process by developing such information through a series of biogeographic assessments conducted in selected sanctuaries. The resulting products are then supplied to sanctuary managers and staff for use in the policy and decision making process. This collaborative effort began along the west coast of the U.S. with the Cordell Bank, Gulf of Farallones, and Monterey Bay national marine sanctuaries, and is herein centered on the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary (CINMS).

Nearshore marine fish assemblages in southern California

Fish benthic trawls were completed by the Southern California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP).  Data from 425 fisheries independent trawls ranging from 2-215 meters depth were collected in 1994 and 1998 during the months of June-August.  Fish that were not present in at least 5% of the trawls were removed from this analysis.  The data set contained information for 150 fish species, but removal of rare species resulted in 48 species.  Site groups were calculated using the Bray-Curtis dissimilarity coefficient with average means clustering (Romesburg, 1991).  Gear included a 7.6-m head-rope semi balloon otter trawl with 1.25 cm codend mesh trawled for 5-10 minutes at each station.  For more information on trawl methods, see Allen et al. (1997), and Allen et al. (2003).

Fish diversity in southern California using trawl data from the National Marine Fisheries Service

The Shannon Index of diversity was calculated from National Marine Fisheries Service Groundfish Survey Program (NMFS GSP) fish trawl data.   Data from 477 fishery independent trawls ranging from 55-1200 m in depth were collected June-November in 1977, 1989, 1992, 1995, and 1997-2002.  Including all fish identified to the species level resulted in 189 fish species.  Using ArcGIS, 5 x 5 minute grids were created and mean diversity was calculated for each grid cell containing data.  Gear included a nor'eastern trawl (127 mm stretched-mesh body; 89 mm stretched-mesh codend; and 32 mm stretched-mesh codend liner) with a rubber bobbin roller which was trawled for 15-30 minutes on the bottom.  Zimmerman's (2003) analysis of benthic species biomass was used to cull out the trawls that did not fish the bottom.

Baseline assessment of fish communities of the Flower Garden Banks (2010 - present): 2011

The proposed work develop baseline information on fish and benthic communities within the Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary (FGBNMS). Surveys will employ diving, technical diving, ROV, and hydroacoustics technologies for a comprehensive assessment of the fish and benthic habitat communities of the East and West Bank. The FGBNMS represents the northernmost tropical western Atlantic coral reef on the continental shelf and support the most highly developed offshore hard bank community in the region. The complexity of habitats supports a diverse assemblage of organisms including approximately 250 species of fish, 23 species of coral, and 80 species of algae in addition to large sponge communities. Understanding and monitoring these resources is critical to both sanctuary inventory and management activities. During the course of the sanctuary's management plan review process, the impact of fishing was identified as a priority issue, and the concept of a research only area was suggested. The purpose of this project will be to provide baseline data for all benthic habitats and communities.

JPSS-2 CrIS IMG: Collocated VIIRS level 1 / cloud mask statistical summary V3.0 (SNDRJ2CrISL1BIMG) at GES DISC

The Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) Level 1B Full Spectral Resolution (FSR) data files contain radiance measurements along with ancillary spacecraft, instrument, and geolocation data of the CrIS instrument on the Joint Polar Satellite System-2 (JPSS-2) platform. This platform is also know as NOAA-21 (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration). 

The IMG product supplements the CrIS Level 1B (L1B) hyperspectral radiance product by providing collocated high-spatial resolution data from the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) imager located on the same platform. VIIRS radiance and cloud mask values are grouped and aggregated for every CrIS field of view (FOV) and made available in a format intended for use alongside the CrIS L1B data. The collocated VIIRS level 1 / cloud mask statistical summary is the main product and consists of collocated CrIS field of views with the VIIRS cloud mask and radiances/reflectances. This can be thought of as a match-up between CrIS and VIIRS. The supplementary product, array indices for collocated VIIRS observations (collection name SNDRJ2CrISL1BIMGC), consists of array indices for collocated VIIRS observations and provides the collocated indices of the VIIRS pixels within each CrIS footprint. 

The FSR files have 2,223 channels (*2211 apodized channels): 637 (*633) shortwave channels from 3.9 to 4.7 microns (2555 to 2150 cm-1), 869 (*865) midwave channels from 5.7 to 8.05 microns (1752.5 to 1242.5 cm-1), and 717 (*713)longwave channels from 9.1 to 15.41 microns (1096.25 to 648.75 cm-1). Each CrIS field-of-regard (FOR) contains 9 field-of-views (FOVs) arranged in a 3X3 array. The Level 1B files contain 30 FORs in the cross track direction and 45 in the along track direction. Data products are constructed on six minute boundaries.

The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) has 22 imaging and radiometric bands covering wavelengths from 0.41 to 12.5 microns. It provides the sensor data records for clouds, sea surface temperature, ocean color, and others. This IMG product primarily contains statistics of the VIIRS cloud mask and VIIRS L1B data within each CrIS footprint.

GLAS/ICESat L2 Ocean Altimetry Data (HDF5) V034

GLAH06 is used in conjunction with GLAH05 to create the Level-2 altimetry products. Level-2 altimetry data provide surface elevations for ice sheets (GLAH12), sea ice (GLAH13), land (GLAH14), and oceans (GLAH15). Data also include the laser footprint geolocation and reflectance, as well as geodetic, instrument, and atmospheric corrections for range measurements. The Level-2 elevation products, are regional products archived at 14 orbits per granule, starting and stopping at the same demarcation (± 50° latitude) as GLAH05 and GLAH06. Each regional product is processed with algorithms specific to that surface type. Surface type masks define which data are written to each of the products. If any data within a given record fall within a specific mask, the entire record is written to the product. Masks can overlap: for example, non-land data in the sea ice region may be written to the sea ice and ocean products. This means that an algorithm may write the same data to more than one Level-2 product. In this case, different algorithms calculate the elevations in their respective products. The surface type masks are versioned and archived at NSIDC, so users can tell which data to expect in each product.  Each data granule has an associated browse product.
