String history
"Version 1 (2014-10-15): Initial version. Version 2 (2014-11-23): Reconfigured detection hierarchy and adjusted NARWSS detection functions based on additional information from Tim Cole. Updated documentation. Version 3 (2015-03-06): Added a missing sighting from the Gulf of Mexico that affected the Oregon II detection function for both study areas. Refitted that detection function and the density model. Version 3.1 (2015-05-14): Updated calculation of CVs. Switched density rasters to logarithmic breaks. No changes to the model. Version 3.2 (2015-10-07): Updated the documentation. No changes to the model. Model files released as supplementary information to Roberts et al. (2016). Version 4 (2018-04-14): Began update to Roberts et al. (2015) model. Introduced new surveys from AMAPPS, NARWSS, UNCW, VAMSC, and the SEUS NARW teams. Updated modeling methodology. Refitted detection functions and spatial models from scratch using new and reprocessed covariates. Model released as part of a scheduled update to the U.S. Navy Marine Species Density Database (NMSDD). Version 5 (2022-06-20): This model is a major update over the prior version, with substantial additional data, improved statistical methods, and an increased spatial resolution. It was released as part of the final delivery of the U.S. Navy Marine Species Density Database (NMSDD) for the Atlantic Fleet Testing and Training (AFTT) Phase IV Environmental Impact Statement. Several new collaborators joined and contributed survey data: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, TetraTech, HDR, and Marine Conservation Research. We incorporated additional surveys from all continuing and new collaborators through the end of 2020. (Because some environmental covariates were only available through 2019, certain models only extend through 2019.) We increased the spatial resolution to 5 km and, at NOAA's request, we extended the model further inshore from New York through Maine. We reformulated and refitted all detection functions and spatial models. We updated all enviromental covariates to newer products, when available, and added several covariates to the set of candidates. For models that incorporated dynamic covariates, we estimated model uncertainty using a new method that accounts for both model parameter error and temporal variability. Version 5.1 (2023-05-27): Completed the supplementary report documenting the details of this model. The model itself was not changed. NETCDF conversion:Raw data provided at https://seamap.env.duke.edu/models/Duke/EC/ were converted from raster images having an Anderson equal area projection into python xarray objects and reprojected to WGS-1984. See crs attribute for more details regarding the geographic project. Multiple raster files for monthly density estimates where merged into a single .nc file having time dimension and month coordinate. For datasets with multiple eras, only the most recent era is represented here. Data conversion to CF-NetCDF from raster files was performed by james.caplinger@NOAA.gov

String summary "In 2016, together with our collaborators, we published density models for 26 cetacean species and 3 guilds inhabiting U.S. waters of the western North Atlantic and northern Gulf of Mexico (Roberts et al. 2016). After publication, we began an update to the Atlantic (a.k.a. \"East Coast\") models that utilized the same methodology but incorporated additional survey data not available for use in models published in 2016. During 2017-2021, we released updated models for many of the East Coast taxa as additional data accumulated and new collaborators joined the project. Finally, in 2022, we released a comprehensive set of updated models covering all taxa. This model contains the 2022 update for dwarf and pygmy sperm whales.";

Data Access Protocol (DAP) and its
projection constraints.
The URL specifies what you want: the dataset, a description of the graph or the subset of the data, and the file type for the response.
griddap request URLs must be in the form
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/datasetID.fileType{?query}
For example,
https://coastwatch.pfeg.noaa.gov/erddap/griddap/jplMURSST41.htmlTable?analysed_sst[(2002-06-01T09:00:00Z)][(-89.99):1000:(89.99)][(-179.99):1000:(180.0)]
Thus, the query is often a data variable name (e.g., analysed_sst),
followed by [(start):stride:(stop)]
(or a shorter variation of that) for each of the variable's dimensions
(for example, [time][latitude][longitude]).
