Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Atlas: Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca, maps and geographic information systems data (NODC Accession 0013952)

This data set comprises the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) data for the Puget Sound and Strait of Juan de Fuca from 1978 to 2006. ESI data characterize estuarine environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. The ESI data include information for three main components: shoreline habitats, sensitive biological resources, and human-use resources. This atlas was developed to be utilized within desktop GIS systems and contains GIS files and related D-base files. Associated files include MOSS (Multiple Overlay Statistical System) export files, .PDF maps, and detailed user guides and metadata.

本数据集包含1978年至2006年间普吉特海湾（Puget Sound）与胡安·德富卡海峡（Strait of Juan de Fuca）的环境敏感指数（Environmental Sensitivity Index，ESI）数据。环境敏感指数数据以对溢油的敏感程度为依据，对河口生境与野生生物开展分类表征。该指数数据涵盖三大核心组成部分的相关信息：岸线生境、敏感生物资源以及人类利用资源。本图集专为桌面地理信息系统（GIS）开发，包含GIS文件及相关D-base文件。配套文件包括多图层统计系统（Multiple Overlay Statistical System，MOSS）导出文件、PDF格式地图，以及详尽的用户指南与元数据。
