| description: | This file geodatabase raster dataset visualizes the slope of slope of the seafloor around St. Thomas and St. John. Slope of slope is analagous to curvature or rugosity. The layer was derived from a 20 x 20 m bathymetry grid layer for St. Thomas and St. John. The slope of the bathymetry layer was obtained using the spatial analyst slope tool. The output from that tool was fed back into the spatial analyst slope tool to obtain a second derivative of the bathymetry surface representing the rate of slope change between neighboring cells. |
