  • World_seas.shp
  • oceans.shp (well, not external, but I should add a description of how and why it was created; see email thread "FW: oceans.shp from Vector Data Processing using Python Tools")
  • etc

Data and References

oceans.shp

A shape file created by Emilio Mayorga and Don Setiawan (UW Applied Physics Laboratory) to support our work for the Global Ocean Acidification Observation Network (GOA-ON) Data Portal.

It delineates each ocean basin in the broadest possible sense, by placing boundaries along the middle of continents. The motivation for this is to enable thorough spatial overlays of monitoring sites (points), including coastal ones that may be placed on land on an ocean boundary spatial dataset that follows the coast. For marine boundaries between ocean basins, we used various references; we could find them if you absolutely need to know. We don't use this shape file in any visual/cartographic applications. It's only used for automated spatial overlay attribution by ocean basin.

World_Seas.shp
A shapefile originally created by Marine Regions...

There's now a version 2 that I think we should upgrade to http://www.marineregions.org/downloads.php IHO Sea Areas Version 2

prism_precipitation_july_climatology.tif
A Geotiff file created by Emilio Mayorga and Don Setiawan (UW Applied Physics Laboratory) from data provided by PRISM Climate Group
hybas_na_lev00_v1c.shp
Something about this dataset here...
nanoos_nvs.gpkg
A GeoPackage file created by Emilio Mayorga and Don Setiawan (UW Applied Physics Laboratory) to capture all of the assets that are a part of Northwest Association of Networked Ocean Observing Systems (NANOOS).

Thanks! FYI, I won't do anything with this information yet. It's only for documentation, so not a high priority right now.
