ABoVE: Study Domain and Standard Reference Grids, Version 2

Description

The Arctic - Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) has developed two standardized spatial data products to expedite coordination of research activities and to facilitate data interoperability. The ABoVE Study Domain encompasses the Arctic and boreal regions of Alaska, USA, and the western provinces of Canada, North America. Core and Extended study regions have been designated within this Domain and are provided in a vector representation (Shapefile), a raster representation (GeoTIFF at 1,000-meter spatial resolution), and a NetCDF file. A standard Reference Grid System has been developed to cover the entire Study Domain and extends to the eastern portion of North America. This Reference Grid is provided as nested polygon grids at scales of 240, 30, and 5-meter spatial resolution. The 5-meter grid is new in Version 2. Note that the designated standard projection for all ABoVE products is the Canadian Albers Equal Area projection.

34 ABoVE spatial data products - the Study Domain with Core and Extended study regions displayed and the Standard Reference Grid showing the nested 240 meter, 30 meter and 5-meter tiling scheme. Left: The location of sample tile Bh002v003 (in purple) within both the larger A grid (in bold) and the smaller B grid. Right: The location of sample tile Ch014v020 within the larger two grids is shown. https://daac.ornl.gov/ABOVE/guides/ABoVE_reference_grid_v2_Fig1.png
