Entity Information

Entity Type
Data Table

Data Attribute / Type Description
SITEID
TEXT 		Unique identifier for site surveyed as provided in metadata, due to decadal gap does not follow standard pattern.
ISLAND
TEXT 		Guam and the populated islands of the Common Wealth of Northern Mariana Islands (i.e., Tinian, Rota, and Saipan)
SURVEYDATE
DATE 		Local date the survey was conducted (MM/DD/YY).
YEAR
NUMBER 		Local year the survey was conducted.
TAXA
TEXT 		Taxonomic grouping
LONGITUDE
NUMBER 		Longitude in decimal degrees for the given SITE.
LATITUDE
NUMBER 		Latitude in decimal degrees for the given SITE.
PERIODTIME
TEXT 		Period of time used to produce heat (LEHI) and cyclone exposure metrics.
REGION
TEXT 		The Marianas Islands Archipelago including Guam and the Common Wealth of the Mariana (CNMI).
LEHI
NUMBER 		Local extreme heat index (LEHI) that is the proportion of each year (0–1) that exceeds the monthly extreme sea surface temperature values. LEHI can quantify the magnitude and frequency of extreme marine heat events by summarizing the number of time units exceeding a fixed threshold at a given location.
DEPTH_BIN
TEXT 		Classification of depth (shallow, mid, deep) based on midpoint between minimum and maximum depths of replicates at this site. Shallow: >0-6 m, Mid: >6-18 m, Deep: >18-30 m.
CYCLONE
NUMBER 		A cumulative time-decayed cyclone exposure index using harmonized wind speed, duration, and proximity data from the International Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship (IBTrACS, V4). This exposure index accounts for wind intensity, storm speed, distance to the site, and a 3-year half-life decay that reflects ecological recovery over time.
