| Abstract | Vectorized 10-by-10 minute Grid (Polygon). The CRU_PY shapefile data layer is comprised of 92718 derivative calculated climate features derived based on 0.167 degrees resolution data originally from CRU. The layer provides nominal analytical/mapping at 1:70 000 000.
Acronyms and Abbreviations: CRU - Climatic Research Unit - School of Environmental Sciences, University of East Anglia - Norwich. |
| Purpose | Vectorized polygon reference for CRU (Climatic Research Unit) data, allows for the mapping of derivative grids as vectors in standard GIS environments. |
