New Ferret FAQ on coastline overlays
Hello,
Thanks to Patrick Brockmann, we've recently learned of a resource for
obtaining detailed coastline data at the USGS's Coastline extractor
page:
http://crusty.er.usgs.gov/coast/getcoast.html
These are in a convenient form to
download and overlay on Ferret plots. There's an FAQ on this
in the Ferret
web pages:
http://ferret.wrc.noaa.gov/Ferret/FAQ/graphics/coastlines.html
The Coastline Extractor page also makes river locations and political
boundaries
available, though it turns out that the political boundaries are not
up to date. The
author of the coastline extractor page has hopes that they will be
updated. He
noted that the page is due to be transferred to NOAA management,
and so the
link to it may also change in the near future.
