| To view all the coverages described in this Chapter, open the view titled Chapter 3A while running the ArcView project (mbay_30.apr or mbay_31.apr) in the mbaygis directory of this CD-ROM. To view summary metadata (file names, descriptions, provider, references) see the table below. To view complete metadata, go to directory "9_biblio" on this CD-ROM and open the file metadata.mdb using Microsoft Access or the file Gismeta.htm using your browser. |
Sample from the ArcView window for Chapter 3A |
This chapter contains identical coverages to Chapter 3, except that they are presented in Mercator projection, showing true geographic position. See Chapter 3 for a description of the coverages.
All of the other views on this CD-ROM are presented in latitude and longitude (decimal degrees) to facilitate rapid display and manipulation of the data. Any ArcView shapefile on this CD can be projected into a coordinate system to provide a map with true geographic proportions by projecting the entire view window. However, image files (.tif) or ARC/INFO grids will NOT be projected in the view, so they are provided in both decimal degrees (Geographic coordinates) and Mercator projection. Chapter 3 views the geographic files, while Chapter 3a views the Mercator files. On this CD, image/grid files include the shaded relief, backscatter, and pseudo-colored data from the multibeam surveys (see library 3), the Gulf of Maine raster bathymetry (library 3), as well as the dilution maps for the MWRA effluent (see library 6). If one wishes to view these data in a projection, use the Mercator-projected images or grid files (file names end with "m"); and project the view so that any shapefiles will overlay properly. To accomplish this, use the projection button in the View Properties dialog box and choose the following parameters: "custom" projection, Projection: Mercator, Spheroid: GRS 80, Central Meridian: -70.31667, Latitude of True Scale: 41.65.
[note: ArcView 3.0 does not support the customized parameters necessary to view the Mercator-projected coverages on this CD, so Chapter 3A only exists in the 3.1 project file.]
Coverages provided in Chapter 3a: (Summary metadata for files in the Chapter 3A view are listed alphabetically in the table below. For complete metadata, go to directory "9_biblio" on this CD-ROM and open the file metadata.mdb using Microsoft Access or the file Gismeta.htm using your browser.)
