| Summary: | Land/Ocean flag nd distance to coast at high spatial resolution (250m) in the northern hemisphere. The land/ocean flag is computed from merged Open Street Map and Natural Earth land polygons. The shapefiles were rasterized and reprojected to northern hemisphere using gdal. All land mass with the exception of Greenland are based on Open Street Map. Distance to coast was computed with gdal (gdal_proximity.py). The file format is netCDF-4 and the datafile contains two variables (land_ocean_flag & distance_to_coast). The coordinate reference system of the variables is defined by EPSG:6931 (WGS 84 / NSIDC EASE-Grid 2.0 North) and the bounds of the data set are supplied as xc and yc variables in the data file. The file is used in the ESA CryoSat-2 Thematic Products (Cryo-TEMPO) Polar Ocean and Sea Ice products in the northern hemisphere. ... |
