Gulf of Maine - Land and Water Masks (as rasters and polygons) for the Remotely Sensed Data

This personal geodatabase contains land and water masks (as rasters and polygons) for the remotely sensed data. It also contains a polygon feature class named: Spatial_Extent_Remote_Sensing_Data, which denotes the outer boundaries of all of the remote sensing data. All of these masks were derived directly from the remotely sensed imagery using geoprocessing functionality in ArcGIS 9.1.

These data were obtained and reprocessed to support the biogeographic assessment of Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary.
