| Abstract | Vectorized CRES 3-by-3 Minute Polygon Reference. The CRES_PY shapefile data layer is comprised of 1004351 derivative calculated climate features derived based on 0.5 data originally from CRES/FAO. The layer provides nominal analytical/mapping at 1:220 000 000.
Acronyms and Abbreviations: CRES - Centre for Resource and Environmental Studies, The Australian National University (ANU). |
| Purpose | Vectorized polygon reference for CRES data, allows for the mapping of derivative grids as vectors in standard GIS environments. |
