EUSeaMap2 (2016) Broad-Scale Predictive Habitat Map - Confidence in PAR at Seabed

Confidence in the PAR at seabed values, produced by EMODnet Seabed Habitats for the 2016 EUSeaMap broad-scale predictive habitat maps.

Values are on a range from 1 (Low confidence) to 3 (High confidence). Confidence in Photosynthetically Active Radiation (PAR) at the seabed are driven by the confidence in the underlying data used to determine the descriptor (PAR at the surface, light attenuation coefficient KD(PAR) and depth to the seabed.) and the confidence in the threshold/margin between classes (areas closer to a boundary between two classes will have lower confidence).
