  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Input data used to predict sedimentation rate for the Baltic Sea. Observation 
data includes: Sedimentation rate data derived from isotope 137Cs tracers and 
pseudo-samples of zero sedimentation rate randomly placed in areas of rocky 
habitat. Sixteen predictor variables were considered for use in the 
sedimentation rate model. These were: Bathymetric Position Index (at three 
neighbourhood sizes); the Standard Deviation of bathymetry (at three 
neighbourhood sizes); Distance from Rivers (three layers representing 
different river catchment sizes); Substrate class (developed at a 1:1,000,000 
scale for the Baltic Sea, classified to Folk5 level); satellite derived 
estimate for Suspended Particulate Matter in the water column (a winter and 
summer layer); Orbital Velocity at the seabed (a winter and summer layer); and 
Current Speed (a winter and summer layer).
