### Marine predator areas of important habitat ### Data downloaded from https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/fulldisplay/SCAR_RAATD on 2026-01-12 Hindell M.A., Reisinger R.R., Ropert-Coudert Y., et al (2020) Tracking of marine predators to protect Southern Ocean ecosystems. Australian Antarctic Data Centre. https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/fulldisplay/SCAR_RAATD ### Processing steps: 1. Download .nc files from https://data.aad.gov.au/metadata/records/fulldisplay/SCAR_RAATD and file in cwd/input 2. Run 02_extract_tifs.py * Extracts each NetCDF raster to GeoTIFF * Reproject from EPSG:4326 to EPSG:3031 (bilinear resampling) * Saves each raster as a DEFLATE-compressedCloud Optimised GeoTIFF (COG) in cwd/single_tifs 3. Run 03_stack_tifs.py * Stacks the individual GeoTIFFs into a single multiband raster * Orders species layers alphabetically, followed by the colony-weighted and colony-unweighted mean habitat importance layers * Sets each band description from the source filename * Saves as a DEFLATE-compressed Cloud Optimised GeoTIFF (COG) in cwd
