The Ocean Archive System searches our original datasets as they were submitted to us, not individual points or profiles. If you want to search and retrieve ocean profiles in a common format, or objectively analyzed fields, your better option may be to use one of our project applications. See: Access Data

| Title: | Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) Atlas Digital Data Re-release San Francisco Bay 1998, NODC Accession Number 0036884 |
| Abstract: | This data set comprises the Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) maps for the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. ESI data characterize estuarine environments and wildlife by their sensitivity to spilled oil. These data are a re-release of the San Francisco, California ESI digital data originally published in March 2001 (NODC Accession Number 0013224). This re-release includes data in a Geodatabase format with an .mxd and layer files for use with the ArcGIS product line. The .mxd and the layer files were both created in ArcMap 9.2, and will require that version or later for use.
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 (shape) files and related D-base files. Associated files include MOSS (Multiple Overlay Statistical System) export files, .PDF maps, and detailed documentation and metadata. An earlier version of these data was released in March 2001 and is filed under NODC accession number 0013224. |

The intertidal shoreline habitats of San Francisco Bay were originally mapped during overflights conducted in January 1986. They were updated onto 1:24,000 U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic maps by an experienced coastal geologist in August 1996 using 1:24,000 natural-color vertical aerial photographs from NOAA. Maps for bayland habitats provided by the San Francisco Estuary Institute (SFEI) were also consulted during the shoreline classification. A series of overflights were conducted 4-6 March 1997 to verify the shoreline classification. In conjunction with the linear shoreline classification, the SFEI baylands data were used to delineate and classify polygonal habitats, including marsh types, tidal flats, and other features. The SFEI data were originally compiled from unofficial 1985 National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) data, interjected with 1989 State Lands Commission tidal marsh polygons, updated and reviewed by experts using 1995/1996 National Aeronautic and Space Administration (NASA) aerial photography, and pre-released in November 1997. All biological resource data were obtained from a variety of data sources (detailed in the included metadata report) and subsequently reviewed by local and regional experts in 1998. Original data was received as a CD-ROM product from NOS Office of Response and Restoration, Seattle.
