            environmental conditions for coral reefs in Guam and American 
            Samoa under multiple climate scenarios. U.S. Geological Survey 
            data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9N32V3M.
      Abstract: 
        Many aspects of the environment are outside the control of local or 
        regional resource managers. These conditions may require concerted 
        global action to affect change (e.g., water temperatures) or cannot be 
        controlled at all (e.g., wave power). This layer synthesized spatial 
        information for several non-managed conditions to create a relative 
        score for how favorable a given location is for coral growth and 
        survival.
        
        Present-day environmental conditions contributing to this layer 
        included: marine calcite concentration (a proxy for ocean 
        acidification), irradiance (photosynthetically available radiation, or 
        PAR), thermal stress (Degree Heating Weeks), and wave power (per meter 
        of wave front).
        
        Covariation in these conditions was accounted for using principal 
        component analysis (PCA) to form composite variables of conditions 
        that have strong relationships with one another. The resulting 
        principal components were averaged and scaled from 0 (worst) to 1 
        (best) to produce the coral favorability score for non-managed 
        conditions. These data are provided as a raster with a resolution of 
        500 m for American Samoa, including Tutuila and the Manua Islands 
        (Ofu, Olosega, and Tau).
      Purpose: 
        These data can be used to visualize patterns of environmental 
        favorability for coral growth and survival, highlighting similarities 
        and dissimilarities in geographic patters across climate scenarios. 
        These data were generated as part of a partnership between USGS and 
        the Pacific Islands Ocean Observing System (PacIOOS) to fill ocean 
        data gaps identified by the Regional Ocean Data Sharing Initiative. 
        The data can be used with geographic information systems (GIS) 
        software for research purposes.

      Abstract: 
        Many aspects of the environment are outside the control of local or 
        regional resource managers. These conditions may require concerted 
        global action to affect change (e.g., water temperatures) or cannot be 
        controlled at all (e.g., wave power). This layer synthesized spatial 
        information for several non-managed conditions to create a relative 
        score for how favorable a given location is for coral growth and 
        survival.
        
        Present-day environmental conditions contributing to this layer 
        included: marine calcite concentration (a proxy for ocean 
        acidification), irradiance (photosynthetically available radiation, or 
        PAR), thermal stress (Degree Heating Weeks), and wave power (per meter 
        of wave front).
        
        Covariation in these conditions was accounted for using principal 
        component analysis (PCA) to form composite variables of conditions 
        that have strong relationships with one another. The resulting 
        principal components were averaged and scaled from 0 (worst) to 1 
        (best) to produce the coral favorability score for non-managed 
        conditions. These data are provided as a raster with a resolution of 
        500 m for American Samoa, including Tutuila and the Manua Islands 
        (Ofu, Olosega, and Tau).
