Summary
Abstract: The Original Grids of the Gridded Bird Species Distribution of the Americas are converted 1- kilometer grid cell data in the Geographic Coordinate System (GCS) that cover North America, South America and the Caribbean Islands. The input vector data were created by a consortium led by Natureserve. The grids are produced by the Columbia University Center for International Earth Science Information ... View entire text

Purpose: To provide a gridded version of existing vector maps of bird species distribution at 1- kilometer that preserves the original coding (1=Extant, 2= Possibly present, 3=Probably extinct, 4=Extinct, 5=Extirpated purposely, 6=Occurs on indicated island chain, and 7=Subfossil/fossil).

Radar Altimeters Ancillary Description
Quality This grid cell layer was interpolated from a triangulated irregular network that was generated from slope corrected orthometric heights of Antarctica (refer to metadata record ERS_DTM_TIN_ANT).
These heights were derived using ERS radar altimetry.
The grid cells are 5000 x 5000 metres in size and there are 1081 columns and 964 rows. The ArcGIS spatial analyst extension was used to derive the grid from the triangulated irregular network file . Areas of invalid height in the reliability data set (refer to metadata record ERS_REL_ANT) were used to mask out (assign no data values) to corresponding cells in the grid.
Access Constraints Available in a Polar Stereographic projection with true scale at 71 degrees S.
