Data Access:
The spatial data in this report are delivered in two different formats:

raster data
vector data

Selected raster and vector data can be viewed with ArcMap™ 9.3 map document (arcmap1210.mxd). Details on file descriptions and locations can be found in the "Raster and Vector Data Description" section.

Projection:
Raster data: Grids are UTM, Zone 19N, World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84) datum. GeoTIFF and JPEG images are in Geographic Coordinate System, WGS84 datum.
Vector data: Geographic Coordinate System, WGS84 datum.

Viewing the data:
The data can be accessed either in ArcGIS^® or higher or in ArcReader 9.x

Viewing the Map Documents:
ArcGIS^® 9.3 or higher:
Copy the data folder to the hard drive of the computer and open the ArcMap™ 9.3 map document arcmap1210.mxd. These map documents are saved with relative links. As long as the file structure remains the same under the parent directory (data) there is no need to change drive letters or pathways. Approximately 5 GB of free space is needed to save the data and extract it to a local drive.

Data download:
Raster and vector data are stored and compressed within zip files in order to facilitate Web downloads. WinZip^® files of the individual data layers are linked within the “Data Preview” section. See below for specific download instructions.
Raster grids are stored as Binary ESRI^® grid format in the data directory and as ASCII raster files within individual dataset zip files. The ASCII raster files can be converted easily to ESRI^® grid format in either ArcView with Spatial Analyst extension (Import Data Source: ASCII Raster) or ArcGIS^® with Spatial Analyst extension (ASCII to Raster). Vector data are stored as shapefiles within the zip file.
