Dataset: Distance to Nearest Coastline/0.04-Degree Grid/Distance to Nearest Coastline: 0.04-Degree Grid: Ocean
Data format: netCDF
Data type: GRID
Naming Authority: org.pacioos
ID: dist2coast_4deg_ocean
Documentation:
summary: A global data set of ocean distances from the nearest coastline. NASA's Ocean Biology Processing Group (OBPG) generated this data set using the Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) software package. Distances were computed with GMT using its intermediate-resolution coastline and then gridded globally at a spatial resolution of 0.04 degrees.
