Slope – 5 meter grid
Slope: Cell values reflect the maximum rate of change (in degrees) in elevation between neighboring cells. Slope was derived with the ArcGIS Spatial Analyst extension.

Rugosity – 5 meter grid
Rugosity: Cell values reflect the surface area and (surface area) / (planimetric area) ratio for the area contained within that cell’s boundaries. They provide indices of topographic roughness and convolutedness. (Jenness 2003)

BPI Structures – 5 meter grid
BPI Structures: Derived from two scales (25 & 200) of BPI; slope; and depth. Three ranges of slope defined flats, slopes and near vertical: x < 5; 5 < x < 70. Depth alone, in this case, is added only to separate flat structures into shelf (<30 m) and broad flat (>30 m) environments (depths based on SCUBA limits).

BPI Zones – 5 meter grid
BPI Zones: Derived from a broad scale (200) BPI grid and slope. Two ranges of slope defined flats and slopes: x < 5 and 5 < x < 70.
