Signell_extractor eng utf8 dataset MEAUX, MELANIEF. gsfc-gcmduso@mail.nasa.gov author GCMD originator 2001-01-31 CEOS IDN DIF VERSION 9.7 Coastline Extractor 2001-01-31 publication The electronic form allows you to extract coastline segments bounded by a specified latitude/longitude range. Plots the coast you extracted also! Please visit: "http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/shorelines.html" and choose the "coastline extractor" link. The selected data returned by the query is an ASCII flat file with two columns containing longitude and latitude in decimal degrees (west negative). The default MAPGEN format is lon,lat with new segments separated by a line containing the characters "# -b". The MATLAB format is the same, but with the characters "nan nan" indicating line breaks, so in MATLAB you can type "load coast.dat" then "plot(coast(:,1),coast(:,2)". The Arc Ungenerate format works with Arc/Info. ArcView will not read the Ungenerate format directly, but you can convert from Ungenerate to a Shape file that ArcView can read using the script gen2shap1.ave. For MAPINFO users, there is a tool CoastCon.zip from Peter Lyngs that converts the MAPGEN format output to MapInfo Import Files (MIF). The ASCII files may be compressed in a variety of formats before downloading. The default values below will give you the WVS coastline for Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket in Massachusetts, USA. Coastline extractor reference data sets include: World Coastlines and Lakes. Crude. World Wide Coverage. This data is suitable for map scales of 5,000,000 or smaller. World Data Bank II. Fair Resolution. World Wide Coverage. This data is suitable for map scales of 2,000,000 or smaller. Also contains international and internal political boundaries and rivers. World Vector Shoreline. Better Resolution. World Wide Coverage. This data is suitable for map scales of 1:250,000 or smaller. NOAA/NOS Medium Resolution Digital Vector Shoreline. Best Resolution. United States Coverage, digitized from NOAA nautical charts. This data is suitable for map scales of 1:70,000 or smaller. Note: There may be a few odd data points in this version of the data set (September, 1994). If you see something strange, you might want to check the official source of this data at the official NOAA medium resolution coastline web site. The Coastline Extractor was created by Rich Signell of the U.S. Geological Survey / Geologic Division / Coastal and Marine Program / Woods Hole Field Center. The extractor pages are currently hosted by the NOAA/National Geophysical Data Center, Marine Geology & Geophysics Division.
