Rugosity Grid of Darwin Harbour

Updated: 2018-04-22

The Rugosity grid calculates the "true" surface area in relation to the planar surface area. It represents the rugosity of an area of seabed (Jenness, 2004). Higher values indicate more rugose seafloor. The grid was created from the bathymetry grid of Darwin Harbour. Please see the metadata of the bathymetry grid for more details (GeoCat No: 74915).
