A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our web pages at: http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html |

GeoPlan downloaded this dataset from the National Weather Service website (http://www.nws.noaa.gov/) and the Digitalcorp website (http://www.digitalcorp.com/emaps.htm) in September 2004. The data downloaded from NWS was a comma separated text file and the Digitalcorp data was in shapefile format in geopraphic lat long. The Digitalcorp data was projected from to FGDL Albers HPGN. charley: shapefile received from - http://www.digitalcorp.com/emaps.htm. -projeccted to albers -clipped to fgdl sde extents Frances, Ivan, Jeanne: text files of coordinates taken from National Weather Service -coordinates converted to points -digitized lines between points to create path -projected to albers -clipped to fgdl sde extents -appended to charley path to create final layer Process Date: 20040900 |
