Latitude and Longitude Grid Coordinates

This data set contains the ISLSCP II Latatude grid coordinate files and Longitude grid coordinate files for every grid cell. These are global, coarse resolution (1/4, 1/2 and 1 degree spatial resolutions) files containing the center coordinates (lat & lon) for each grid cell. The files were produced by the ISLSCP II staff.

File Information

The files have been compressed using the PKZip program. Each file contains ASCII text at 1 degree (360 values per line, and 180 lines, labeled "1d"), 0.5 degrees (720 values per line, and 360 lines, labeled as "hd"), and 0.25 degrees (1440 values per line, and 720 lines, labeled as "qd"). Each line is terminated by a newline character. Each line is terminated by a newline character. The data are structured so that the upperleft corner of the first pixel is located at 90 North latitude and 180 West longitude. The following files are available:
