Data from: Ensemble modelling of the potential distribution of the whale shark in the Atlantic Ocean
- 1. Spanish Institute of Oceanography
- 2. CICGE
Description
This dataset reports observations of whale shark (Rhincodon typus) in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean. Data were obtained by the Spanish Institute of Oceanography (IEO) observers program, and were rescaled to the resolution of the Bio-ORACLE 2.0 variables, against which they were modelled along with presences from additional online sources. Our data include both presence and surveyed absence records – i.e., places where observers were active and did not detect whale sharks – within 5 arc-minute pixels spanning the surveyed area.
Notes
Notice that the coordinates do not mark all points with observations, or the exact locations of these points, but rather the centroids of the 5 arc-minute pixels within which we had observation data.
