A note about data scale:

Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasets are not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data.

1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries.

1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:125000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger.

Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analysis. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References section and the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our webpage at: <http://geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html>

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

The NOAABND shapefile was created using the FGDL county boundary version 2003 shapefile as a basemap. An OFFICE field was added and calculated according to which of the four NOAA ffices served each individual county. The shapefile was then disolved on the OFFICE field.

The Shapefile was left as single part so the table contains only four records, one for each NOAA District. The shapefile can be converted to multipart so as to have the table represent items such as islands and coastal features as individual records.
