    "title": "Bathymetric Position Index (BPI) Zones Grid Derived from Gridded Bathymetry for Select U.S. Coral Reef Locations across the Pacific Ocean",
    "description": "Bathymetric Position Index (BPI) Zones are derived for islands and banks across the U.S. Pacific Islands Region from a focal mean analysis on bathymetry and slope, and were created using the Benthic Terrain Modeler. Cell values represent one of 4 classes (crest, depression, flat, slope) in an index of seafloor terrains. \n\nThe grids are based primarily on gridded multibeam bathymetry collected aboard NOAA Ships Hi'ialakai and Oscar Elton Sette and aboard R\/V AHI (Acoustic Habitat Investigator) from 2003 to 2012 by the PIFSC Ecosystem Sciences Division (ESD). Other sources of available data used to derive BPI Zones for a few locations include estimated depths derived from IKONOS satellite imagery from 2000 to 2002, LIDAR data from 2001 and 2007, and multibeam bathymetry collected in 2001 and 2002.\n\nThe BPI Zone grid generated for each location is available via the Pacific Islands Benthic Habitat Mapping Center (PIBHMC) website. The data, maps, layer files, and detailed documentation (more specific than this pacific-wide record) about the data sources and data processing steps used are included in the zip file for each location.",
