Vectorized 10-by-10 minute Grid (Polygon)

ISO19115/19139 XML

Identification info
Title Vectorized 10-by-10 minute Grid (Polygon)
Date 28-10-2005
Date type creation
Edition First
Presentation form mapDigital
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.

Statement Time-series data translated from source material in flat ASCII format and translated into Arc-Grid format to promote analysis and visualization via AWRD interface. In order to enhance the non-grid based capabilities of the AWRD, a polygonal and point representation of the base grid was translated into shapefile format in decimal degrees, followed by the creation of annual tables consolidating the data represented.
