EUSeaMap (2019) Broad-Scale Predictive Habitat Map - Confidence in classification of salinity regime

Confidence in the classification of salinity regime in the EUSeaMap (2019) broad-scale predictive habitat map.

Values are on a range from 1 (Low confidence) to 3 (High confidence).

Salinity regime is one of the layers of information used to categorise physical habitat types in the Baltic Sea area of EUSeaMap; these layers of information are collectively known as 'habitat descriptors'. Confidence in the classification of salinity regime at any location is driven by both the confidence in the values of the input variables, and the confidence in the classification based on proximity to, and uncertainty in, the boundary between classes (i.e. areas closer to a boundary between two classes will have lower confidence).

Layers are also available showing confidence in the values of the input variables used to model salinity regime.
