Species Distribution Modelling is a correlative approach that helps assess the relationship between species occurrence records and their surrounding environmental conditions. Studying the distribution of benthic species in the Southern Ocean constitutes an interesting approach to interpolate the little amount of information we have in this broad scale and poorly accessible area. We provide here a set of environmental descriptors suitable for the modelling work. The present vignette describes the procedure to select and download them.
The present dataset is composed of 58 environmental descriptors, set at a 0.1 degree grid-cell resolution, on the Southern Ocean extent (80 to 45 degrees S, -180 to 180 degrees longitude). Layers are provided as a netCDF file format.
1/ depth
Description: Bathymetry.
Dowloaded from GEBCO 2014 (0.0083 degrees = 30sec arcmin resolution) and
set at resolution 0.1 degrees. Then completed with the bathymetry layer
manually corrected and provided in Fabri-Ruiz et al. (2017)

4/ slope
Description: Seafloor slope
derived from bathymetry with the terrain function of raster R package.
Computation according to Horn (1981), ie option neighbor=8. The
computation was done on the GEBCO bathymetry layer (0.0083 degrees
resolution) and the resolution was then changed to 0.1 degrees. Unit set
at degrees.

5/ roughness
Description: Seafloor
roughness derived from bathymetry with the terrain function of raster R
package. Roughness is the difference between the maximum and the minimum
value of a cell and its 8 surrounding cells. The computation was done on
the GEBCO bathymetry layer (0.0083 degrees resolution) and the
resolution was then changed to 0.1 degrees.

The full metadata file, giving details on each of the data sources, is available from https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/environmental_layers.
The first steps to download the data are to define the directory in which the data will be stored. In this example, we use a temporary folder.
library(blueant)
my_data_directory <- tempdir()
## the data source we want
data_source <- sources_sdm("Southern Ocean marine environmental data")
## put these together into a blueant configuration
config <- bb_config(my_data_directory) %>% bb_add(data_source)

## ## Southern Ocean marine environmental data
## This dataset is a collection of marine environmental data layers suitable for use in Southern Ocean species distribution modelling. All environmental layers have been generated at a spatial resolution of 0.1 degrees, covering the Southern Ocean extent (80 degrees S - 45 degrees S, -180 - 180 degrees). The layers include information relating to bathymetry, sea ice, ocean currents, primary production, particulate organic carbon, and other oceanographic data.
##
## An example of reading and using these data layers in R can be found at https://australianantarcticdivision.github.io/blueant/articles/SO_SDM_data.html.

## Sun Nov 10 06:02:45 2024 dataset synchronization complete: Southern Ocean marine environmental data
The verbose = TRUE
argument helps to display the
progress output. Once completed, the status
object provides
some information about the files that were downloaded. In particular,
the downloaded netCDF files can be listed with:
nc_files <- Filter(function(z) grepl("\\.nc$", z), status$files[[1]]$file)
## the first few files
head(basename(nc_files))
## [1] "POC_2005_2012_ampli.nc" "POC_2005_2012_max.nc"
