E1: Visualize
Assign colormaps to:
- bathymetry (don’t obscure thematic data)
- coastline (sharpens terrestrial/marine interface)
- stations (opaque to indicate station location)
- abundance (translucent to emphasize interpolation)
Assign view
- plan view is often best for small areas
Regrid (i.e., interpolate) abundance data
- tool provides for non-gridded interpolation of sparse data
- determine neighborhood for interpolation
Render image with abundance quantitative colorbar
