GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS DATA |
The GIS data on this CD-ROM may be accessed through the gisdata directory. |
ARCVIEW SHAPEFILES ArcView shapefiles are a simple, non-topological format for storing the geometric location and attribute information of geographic features. The shapefile format defines the geometry and attributes of geographically-referenced features in as many as five files with specific file extensions that should be stored in the same project workspace. shapefile content (metadata) |

ARC/INFO COVERAGES ARC/INFO coverages are a topological data structure for geographic features. The coverage format is suitable for spatial analysis and large geographic data management applications. Defining spatial features topologically in a coverage can optimize data storage by reducing coordinate redundancy. (read more about ARC/INFO coverages...) |

Coverages projected into UTM Zone 20; WGS84 reference ellipsoid |

Luquillo data (UTM Zone 20; WGS84 reference ellipsoid) |
ARC/INFO INTERCHANGE FILES (*.e00) |
An interchange file contains all coverage information and appropriate INFO file information in a fixed-length, ASCII format. It can be fully or partially compressed and uncompressed ASCII depending upon the EXPORT option used.(read more about these e00s...) |

PROJECT FILES |
ArcExplorer saves projects in files with an *.aep extension. The map display properties, map extent, view properties, any classification or labels, and any scale factors you may have set are saved. An ArcView project file (*.apr) doesn't contain the actual data that you use in ArcView, such as spatial data like shapefiles and ARC/INFO coverages, and tabular data like dBASE files. Instead, a project stores references to the location of these data sources on disk. In this way, the same data can be used in any number of projects without duplication. |

DIGITAL ELEVATION MODELS |
A digital elevation model (DEM) consists of a group of elevations for ground positions; usually at regularly spaced intervals. Elevations are in meters relative to mean sea level. (read more about these DEMs...) |
OR |
go to the files |
DEMs projected into UTM Zone 19; WGS84 reference ellipsoid.(for use with Mayaguez data) |
DEMs projected into UTM Zone 20; WGS84 reference ellipsoid. (for use with Luquillo data) |

TIFFS AND WORLD FILES |
The world files (*.tfw) contain real-world transformation information used by images in separate ASCII files. (read more about world files) |
