Data format
The pesticide grids are available in ArcInfo format and as ASCII text files.
ArcInfo format: The ArcInfo files are in Workstation Grid format in an ArcInfo workspace, which has been converted
to a Tar archive file compressed with the GNU gzip utility. The compressed
ArcInfo files are named "kgXXXX_97.tar.gz" and can be uncompressed either by using
the WinZip utility or "gunzip" and "tar".
When using WinZip, the "kgXXXX_97.tar.gz" file will uncompress into a "kgXXXX_97"
folder, which contains a subfolder (or ArcInfo Workspace) named "arctar00000".
The pesticide grid is stored in the "arctar00000" workspace and has the following INFO files:
gridname.BND ESRI boundary file
gridname.STA ESRI statistics file
When using "gunzip" and "tar", invoke the following commands:
gunzip gridname_97.tar.gz
tar xvf gridname_97.tar
ASCII (text) format: The ASCII grid files are compressed with the Winzip utility.
Each .zip archive file contains the following files:
gridname.asc ASCII data file
gridname.prj text-format projection file
