        Title: 
          Predicted Coral Cover of Porites lobata in the Hawaiian Islands
    Description: 
      Abstract: 
        Output from a model to predict the benthic cover of Porites lobata in 
        the Hawaiian Islands as a proportion (0-1.0). Coral cover was modeled 
        with boosted regression trees (BRT) in R software using data from 
        coral cover surveys and environmental covariates derived from models 
        and/or observations including wave height, benthic geomorphology, and 
        downwelled irradiance. The best performing BRT model was used to 
        predict P. lobata cover for the entire geographic study domain. Data 
        and model output represent conditions for shallow coral reefs in the 
        Hawaiian Islands from 0 m to -30 m depth over the time period 
        2000-2009. Further details on methodology and results are contained in 
        Franklin et al. (2013).
      Purpose: 
        PacIOOS provides timely, reliable, and accurate ocean information to 
        support a safe, clean, productive ocean and resilient coastal zone in 
        the U.S. Pacific Islands region.
