Spatial and Temporal Information Sample Clauses
Spatial and Temporal Information. The spatial coverage of the SIP is given in terms of spatial extent and resolution. The farthest bounding coordinates of the represented region define the spatial extent. The minimum difference between two adjacent spatial elements specifies the spatial resolution of the data. Table 3.3.1.3-1: Spatial Information Bounding Coordinates CoastWatch ocean color products cover 13 regions (7 coastal, 6 open ocean) globally. SeaWiFS products cover 10 of these 13 regions; MODIS ocean color products cover all of these 13 regions; and MERIS products cover 7 of these 13 regions.
Spatial and Temporal Information. (Go to section) Instructions: Explain the Bounding Coordinates of the SIP and specify a Coordinate System such as “geographic” using latitude and longitude degrees to define the spatial extent. Space Weather data may require other standard non-geographic reference system descriptions. Provide a general explanation of the Spatial Resolution. Examples of Horizontal Resolution include “point resolution”, “4km grid”, and “1km pixel”. Examples of Vertical Resolution include “point resolution”, “100mb”, and “50 sigma levels”. Angular Resolution may be more appropriate in some cases expressed in terms of arc seconds. Include the units of measure for resolutions given. Explain Spatial Representation in terms of grid, point, lines, etc…. Provide additional coverage details, such as geographic locations or Space Weather location keywords in the Additional Information field. For Temporal Information, specify the beginning and ending date for the Temporal Extent. Explain the Temporal Frequency of the data, such as “daily”, “hourly” or other details. Include the reference time standard used (e.g., “UTC”) in the Temporal Reference field. In Additional Information, explain any gaps or other important coverage details of the POR. Repeat a row in the table as needed for every significant POR.
Spatial and Temporal Information. The spatial coverage of the SIP is given in terms of spatial extent and resolution. The farthest bounding coordinates of the represented region define the spatial extent. The minimum difference between two adjacent spatial elements specifies the spatial resolution of the data. Table 3.4.1.3-1: Spatial Information Western Longitude: -180.0375 Eastern Longitude: 180.0375 Northern Latitude: 89.775 Southern Latitude: -89.775 Coordinate System Geographic Spatial Resolution Approximately 4km per pixel Spatial Representation Cylindrical equidistant The temporal extent specifies the entire period of record (POR) that the SIP represents. The minimum temporal difference between two time-referenced elements specifies the temporal frequency of the data.
