Kemp's ridley turtle (Lepidochelys kempii)

Contents of this zip file:

Consists of a readme file and two directories/folders populated with files. These two diretories/folders are Rasters and ArcGIS_Symbology

Rasters (Directory)

*_MMM_density_v2.img - Rasters giving the estimated mean density for month

(represented in file name by abbreviated month name (MMM)), expressed as

the number of individual animals per 100 square km.To convert from individuals

per 100 square km to the more traditional unit of density, individuals per 1

square km, divide the cell values by 100. Note that several taxa were modeled

with only static covariates and therefore will have the same predictions for

each month.

*_MMM_cv_mask_v2.img - Rasters giving the estimated coefficient of variation of

the density estimates for month (represented in file name by abbreviated

month name (MMM)). These values are unitless and were

computed as standard error divided by density.

ArcGIS_Symbology (Directory)

*_density_v2_nper100km2.lyr - ArcGIS "layer" files for symbolizing the

density rasters using a Classified symbology that has logarithmic

breaks suitable for showing variability in both high and low density

areas. To use these, load the raster into ArcGIS and import the

symbology from the file.

*_cv.lyr - ArcGIS "layer" file for symbolizing CV using a classified

symbology that ranges from 0 to >=1.

To provide a Gulf-wide cetacean and sea turtle spatial density models (SDMs) based on line-transect surveys conducted in the U.S. waters of the Gulf of Mexico for Kemp's ridley turtle (Lepidochelys kempii)
