EUSeaMap2 (2016) Broad-Scale Predictive Habitat Map - Confidence in Depth

Confidence in the depth to seabed, produced by EMODnet Seabed Habitats for the 2016 EUSeaMap broad-scale predictive habitat maps.

Values are on a range from 1 (Low confidence) to 3 (High confidence).

The EMODnet Bathymetry project was the source of the depth to the seabed dataset (a digital elevation model (DEM). The project also produced a ‘quality indicator’ based on data relative age, relative sampling effort and number of soundings. The quality indicator scores were categorised into "high", "moderate" and "low" confidence.

Detailed information on the confidence assessment is in
