Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get the original gridded data used to make the maps?

Climate Atlas, Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ
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.

Can I get the meteorological data used for the maps?

Climate Atlas, Frequently Asked Questions, FAQ
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.

Do you sell the data that is used to make your property maps?

GIS & Mapping - FAQ's
Yes. For more information , click on All Data Countywide Data 3 CD set under the Office Products and Services section.

What are the data types used in handle records? Can I make up my own?

HANDLE.NET FAQs
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.

How can I get three-dimensional non-gridded data into gridded format?

NCAR Graphics FAQ
You use one of the gridding routines in the Dsgrid section of the Ngmath package. See the URL: http://www.ncarg.ucar.edu/ngmath/dsgrid/dshome.html To see some examples using Dsgrid, type: ncargex nnex03 c_nnex03 Yes, you can use the application ncargex. Appendix D of the NCAR Graphics Fundamentals contains a pictorial guide to most of the examples that you can then access with ncargex.

Is the digital data available that you used for your maps?

GIS Frequently Asked Questions for Ecology's GIS Data and Ma...
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.

What may the Ordnance Survey data and maps in Digimap be used for?

Digimap - Ordnance Survey Collection: Frequently Asked Quest...
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.

How can I generate a WAsP map from gridded data or spot heights?

The Surfer program can make a contour map of an area from spot heights given in a regular grid; a so-called digital elevation model (DEM). The grid data may be input directly or it can be generated by Surfer from irregularly spaced spot heights. The Surfer program can further be used to edit the map contents, e.g. the map limits and contour interval. The height contours of the map can be exported as a 3-D DXF-file from Surfer's Map menu (Contour Map | Export Contours).

How do you make these maps?

Video Game Maps - Ian-Albert.com
For many I use an emulator and take screenshots of the game and then piece them together into one big map in Photoshop. This is a very long process. Sometimes I find a ROM editor that helps me grab larger chunks of the map at once and see hidden map elements but I still tend to use a lot of screen captures to supplement that source. There's no trick or shortcuts to mapping. It takes forever, but the results are worth it.

Why does the USGS charge for maps when our tax dollars were used to make them?

The cost of USGS maps covers the expense of printing and distribution only. Tax dollars pay for the costs associated with information collection, analysis, production, and archiving.

Once I've used freopen, how can I get the original stdout (or stdin) back?

Infrequently Asked Questions in comp.lang.c
Because the end of file character is not detected on files named ''infp''. (Introverted-iNtuitive-Feeling-Perceptive, that is.) Also, it may be that the file was opened in text mode, where an end of file is read as a capital 'Z' on most machines, and feof() only looks for 'control Z'.

How can I produce a contour plot from two-dimensional non-gridded data?

NCAR Graphics FAQ
First you need to get your data in gridded format. You can do this using one of your own interpolation routines, or you can use one of the gridding routines in the Ngmath package.

How is data from spam submissions used?

SpamCop FAQ
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.

How about data sets that can be used with GMT ?

GMT - Frequently Asked GMT Questions
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.

Why is a T1 used for data communications?

T1 FAQ - Frequently asked Questions about T1 Voice and Data ...
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.

Are there any better versions of the original maps available?

Ultima Gameplay FAQ
There are indeed. The largest maps are the work of Xe Dragon, who currently has large maps of U1 through U5, U7, SI, U8, and both SE and MD available on his High Resolution Ultima Map Project (HRUMP) page. There are also maps for U7, SI, and the Underworlds on Paulon Dragon's maps page. These are not as high a quality as Xe Dragon's work.

Category: Data and processing In the gridded data, to which point lat/lon refer to?

FAQ: Aviso
On-line tools on this website make the correspondance between hour and calendar date and cycle and pass number. Time is given in UTC (Universal Time Coordinate, linked to Greenwich meridian), date in Julian day, which is the elapsed time between a reference epoch (January 1st 1950, 0h0min0s for Cnes Julian days, January 1st 1958, 0h0min0s for Nasa Julian days) and measurement date.

What is the difference between "maps" and "data"?

Ordnance Survey Data Sub-Licence Agreement: Frequently Asked...
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.

What do the weather symbols used on your station plots and hourly weather maps represent?

University of Hawaii Meteorology | Frequently Asked Question...
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.
