Abstract

Habitat suitability model outputs from Gasbarro et al. (2022) covering the Blake Plateau region of the southeastern United States margin. These include raster surfaces of ensemble mean, median, and standard deviation habitat suitability indices. Bathymetry-derived terrain variables were used to generate the terrain suitability layers, while climate model outputs were used to generate the climatic suitability layers. Rasters are in WGS84. See Gasbarro et al. (2022) for full modeling details.
