Horizontal and vertical resolution in StoX
Stox defines specific horizontal and vertical resolutions which are applied at different stages of a StoX model. The resolutions are grouped into the input resolution, the processing resolution and the report resolution.
The input resolution is Station/Haul (horizontal/vertical) for swept-area models and EDSU/Channel for acoustic-trawl models, and is the resolution of the input data.
The process resolution is PSU/Layer (horizontal/vertical) for both swept-area and acoustic-trawl models, and is the resolution at which density is calculated. All data used as input when calculating density must be in this resolution.
The report resolution is Stratum/Layer (horizontal/vertical) for both swept-area and acoustic-trawl models,, and is the resolution of the abundance estimates.
