The data used for most maps is available on the Atlas CD. However, it is in "dbf" format. If you have access to data base management software that recognizes the "dbf" format, you can use it to access the map data. The dbf data files are located in the folder structure: "climatls\aeprojs\dbfshape\project\". That folder structure is off the root directory of your CD.

Gridded data for most maps with the OCS (Oregon Climate Service) logo are available for purchase through The Climate Source. These are high-resolution, latitude/longitude grids with continuous values for each pixel. Grids are in ESRI ASCII GRID format, which is compatible with most major GIS packages.

Yes, but it's usually available as a statewide data layer. We have listed the data sources for the maps in a table on each of the theme pages: WRIAs, counties, or statewide. In each of these tables, follow the links listed in the Organization column.

The permitted use of the data and maps from Digimap are described in the Terms of Use for the service, and in the Frequently Asked Questions on the Sub-Licence Agreement. Each user must read the Terms of Use for Digimap when they register. These and the Frequently Asked Questions on the Sub-Licence Agreement can be viewed from any point within the service. Institutions will need to make separate licensing arrangements with Ordnance Survey for activities not covered by the Digimap service.

Yes. For more information , click on All Data Countywide Data 3 CD set under the Office Products and Services section.

Yes. There are many factors involved in siting a meteorological tower. The sensors must be free from the influences of trees and nearby structures, and the sensors must be sited at proper elevations. The "proper" elevation may be 10 meters if uniformity with National Weather Service installations is required, or at a specific elevation such as a stack height, for environmental applications.

Once again, the South American Explorer's Club offers paper maps, both of Machu Picchu and of the Inca Trail. For online maps, there's a good map of the Inca Trail at Infoperu, as well as my own map of the Inca Trail on this site. Wholeo Online books have a sketch map of Machu Picchu, and there's a more precise but unlabelled map available as part of an article about a multimedia feature on Machu Picchu.

Spam submitted to SpamCop is used in various ways. However, your personal email address is never revealed beyond the initial report, and the email you provide is not released beyond the initial submission. One exception to this - each spam submission generates a tracking URL, and that URL can be used to view the original headers of the spam. This tracking URL is given to you when you report the spam. It is also included in the spam reports.

Lots of data from the US national data centers (NOAA, USGS, NGDC, NEIC) can be used with GMT, and they are all freely available from these centers and individuals via the internet. For Unix/Windows CD-R compilations of several Gb of Earth and Ocean science data, see Geoware's GMT Companion CD-R and DVD-R products.

Answer - Speed is the primary reason for data over T1. If a company transmits large files regularly outside their office an T1 can be a great asset as well as if they receive large amounts of Data. With the expansion of the internet and the requirement to send data at higher speeds, T-1 technology has been essential for dedicated T-1 lines.

These Frequently Asked Questions refer to both "maps" and "data". "Maps" are regarded as static images, produced either from the Digimap service or by the user in desktop applications. They do not contain any vector data and data cannot be derived from them. "Data" are regarded as the raw data which can be downloaded from the Digimap service.

The station circle represents the cloud cover; open circle means clear; and a completely covered circle means 100% cloud cover (or fog). The line extending outward from the station circle is called a wind barb and represents the wind flow; where the wind is blowing from the direction of the barb (north is towards the top of the map and east is towards the viewer's right). The line(s) extending from the end of the barb are called feathers and represent the windspeed.

Answer: Yes. Location can be obtained very quickly with a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. This satellite receiving system displays a position in terms of latitude, longitude, and height, providing you with exact coordinates for map reference. (Some receivers also provide a direct conversion of position to a selected map grid such as UTM.)

Meteorological instrumentation falls into two primary categories; instruments for home or hobbyist use, or instruments for professional applications. The level of sophistication is obviously quite different for these two applications. A list of vendors of professional quality meteorological sensors is available from the American Meteorological Society. These vendors also typically advertise in professional journals.

The Motor Fuels Tax Electronic Filing Program uses the Internet to receive and transmit tax forms and information. It incorporates the following technological attributes to ensure data security: User-ID, Password, Data Encryption, Electronic Signature (Authorization and Security Codes), and Acknowledgments.

Answer - With a piece of equipment called a multiplexer (which is similar to a channel bank), the T-1 can be distributed into data circuits and voice channels. For example, a T-1 could be used to carry 12 telephone lines plus two data circuits at 386K baud. This would be an example of an integrated T1 circuit.

Observations of conditions in the tropical Pacific are essential for the prediction of short term (a few months to one year) climate variations. To provide necessary data, NOAA operates a network of buoys that measure temperature, currents and winds in the equatorial band. These buoys transmit data that are available to researchers and forecasters around the world in real time.

The data is used to update the Census Bureau's list of businesses and provides key source data for County Business Patterns and other statistical series. Businesses use the data for analyzing market potential, measuring effectiveness of sales and advertising programs, setting sales quotas, and developing budgets.

Yes, you can make up your own data types for handle values to define the syntax and semantics of the value data, and the types can be any UTF8 string. The set of types basic to system operation are described in RFC 3651, Section 3.2. If you make up your own data types, there is the potential for conflicts for handle clients that encounter types that are not recognized across the user community. To avoid this, the 0.

These data will be used for both early event detection and health situational awareness, which is the ability to monitor disease over time and geography. With this data, BioSense will inform public health in a way not previously possible. At the time of an emergency event or outbreak, hospital and public health officials will have a real-time picture of what kinds of patients are being seen in a hospital emergency department or inpatient setting.
