- Abstract
- “The CoastWatch Seascape Pelagic Habitat Classification product (CW Seascapes) identifies
spatially explicit water masses with particular biogeochemical features using a model
and satellite-derived measurements. The seascape product is generated as monthly and 8-
day composites at 5 km spatial resolution.
US and global Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) partnered with US
Integrated Ocean Observation System (IOOS), NOAA/OAR/AOML and NOAA/NESDIS/STAR to
develop and routinely generate “seascapes” products and to make them available on
CoastWatch. Derived from dynamic fields of satellite and modelled data, seascapes are
classified and used as a biogeographical framework to describe dynamic, changing ocean
habitats for MBON and other applications. CW Seascapes provide information about the
quality and extent of different oceanographic habitats or features and can be used to assess
and predict the different planktonic and fisheries communities that reside within seascapes.
Current CW Seascapes products include monthly and 8-day time steps at 5 km
resolution. High resolution (1 km) case studies are planned on a case by case basis as
through cooperation with US and global MBON partners.”
