Satellite Derived Bathymetry (SDB), benthic habitat, and hydrodynamic friction maps were generated for a study area surrounding Roi-Namur Island, part of the Kwajalein Atoll of the Republic of the Marshall Islands. The SDB and habitat maps were generated from WorldView-2 and -3 satellite imagery. These layers were needed as part of a larger effort to model the impacts of sea-level rise and inundation on Department of Defense installations on atolls in the Pacific Ocean. Tide corrected depth data to parameterize the SDB models and underwater video to aid in classification of the benthic habitat map were collected in the field during an April 2014 mission to Kwajalein Atoll. No video data were submitted in this dataset. For a complete description technique and results see Field et al. 2022.
