Types of Spatial Data (that SAL has)

 

See also the main Spatial Data Information page.

See also: Information on GEO_data and Saldata (SAL data servers and the data we have on hand)

See also a messy and not particularly up-to-date list of Online Data sources links

 

 

Most of the SAL spatial data is organized on  J:\GEO\GEO_data by geographic region. In addition, spatial data can also be categorized by Type of data. Below is a brief listing of some of the more common data types in the SAL files.

 

Vector Data - shapefiles, coverages, geodatabases

Raster Data - GRIDS, Imagine files, Imagery (air photos, landsat)

 

Common Data Sets

DEM's (Digital Elevation Models) - primarily from the USGS (see the WA_USGS) folder    

    (Most of our DEM's are from UW's Raster Data Website: http://duff.geology.washington.edu/data/raster/ )

DRG's (Digital Raster Graphics, i.e., scanned Topo Quad maps) - from the USGS (see the WA_USGS) folder

DOQ's (Digital Ortho Quads, i.e., air photos) - from the USGS (see the WA_USGS) folder

 

Bathymetry (seafloor data models) - primarily stored in the NW_Region folder

 

Satellite data (Landsat, etc) - primarily stored in the NW_Region folder

 

Census data - primarily stored in the WA_Census folder

 

Soils data - primarily stored in the WA_State folder

 

Geologic data - primarily stored in the WA_State folder

 

Historical data - primarily stored the 'Historical' sub-folder (e.g., Whatcom_County/Historical_WC or BHAM/Historical_Bham).

See Historical Data notes.
