Variable General Info
| Elevation averaging radius |
Geomorphology rank ?Comment:Shoreline geomorphology classes were assigned ranks to reflect their ability to protect shoreline segments from exposure and erosion where highly protective segments were given ranks of 1 and highly exposed segments were given ranks of 5. The value is a constant with respect to the class variable; Geomorphology Class. |
Protection distance (habitat class) ?Comment:Habitat classes were assigned protective distances based on the geomorphological characteristics of each habitat. For example, very low lying, low sloping habitats, such as low saltmarsh and aquatic beds, were given a high protective distance since wave action would flow over these habitats during a longer period of time and to a larger extent. The value is constant with respect to the class variable; Natural Habitat Class. |
Protection rank (habitat class) ?Comment:Shoreline habitat cover classes were assigned ranks to reflect their ability to protect shoreline segments from exposure and erosion where highly protective segments were given ranks of 1 and highly exposed segments were given ranks of 5. The value is constant with respect to the class variable: Natural habitat class. |
