  Description:
     Abstract: 
        In the summer of 2005, more than 14 hours of both vertical and oblique georeferenced submarine digital video was collected in the           
        Santa Barbara Channel for (1) ground-truth existing geophysical data (bathymetry and acoustic reflectance), (2) examine and     
        record 
        geologic characteristics of the sea floor, and (3) investigate the relation between substrate types and benthic communities, and    
        (4) construct predictive maps of seafloor geomorphology and habitat distribution. Common substrates observed include rock, 
        boulders, cobbles, and sand.

  Purpose:
        These data are intended for science researchers, students, policy
        makers, and the general public.  The data can be
        used with geographic information systems (GIS) software
        to display geologic and oceanographic information.

        Although this Federal Geographic Data Committee-compliant metadata
        file is intended to document the data set in nonproprietary form,
        as well as in ArcInfo format, this metadata file may include some
        ArcInfo-specific terminology.

          >1.  ArcGIS "Create Signatures Tool":
          >    Created signature polygon file
          >      by identifying areas of verified (through video observation)
          >      hard, mixed, and soft bottom.
          >    Used 7 layer in the in the "stack" of files to create signatures.
          >    Layers included:
          >      -euclidean distance grid of track lines.
          >      -mosaiced backscatter at 2 meter resolution
          >      -enthropy from backscatter at 2 meter resolution
          >      -homogeneity of backscatter at 2 meter resolution
          >      -rugosity (derived from mosaiced bathy
          >         using the "Benthic Terrain Modeling Tool's Rugosity Builder")
          >      -enthropy from backscatter at half meter resolution
          >      -homogeneity of backscatter at half meter resolution
          >
          >2.  Using the output from the first round of the ArcGIS "Create Signatures Tool",
          >      added 2 additional classes: nadir rock and nadir mixed.
          >    Used same above 7 layers and re-ran "Create Signatures Tool".
          >    Using the new output file, assigned classes nadir rock and nadir mixed
          >      to signature "soft".
          >
          >3.  Converted 3 class grid to polygon.
          >    Decreased number of polygon attributes by grouping polygons
          >      of like classification if polygons area less or equal to 10 sq meters.
          >    Added all Green habitat code (1999) ID and definition columns to polygons.
          >    Used select by attribute, location, and manual tools
          >      to query and assign Green habitat code attributes.
