Spatial predictions of substrate composition for the UK shelf and North Sea.
Compositional fractions of mud, sand and gravel were modelled for an area of
the UK and North Sea using a statistical regression model.
This dataset consists of percentage composition predictions for the mud, sand
and gravel components as raster tifs. In addition the proportion of each of
these sediment components were combined to predict the likely sediment
classification as both a EUNIS habitat class and Folk class. These are also
available as raster tif files with an associated ArcGIS layer file indicating
the appropriate class for each raster value.
A shape file of the Folk classification is also available.
