        Title: 
          Distance to Nearest Coastline: 0.01-Degree Grid
    Description: 
      Abstract: 
        A global data set of distances from the nearest coastline. Negative 
        distances represent locations over land (including land-locked bodies 
        of water), while positive distances represent the ocean. NASA's Ocean 
        Color Group 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. Bilinear interpolation was then 
        applied to increase the spatial resolution to 0.01 degrees. There is 
        an uncertainty of up to 1 km in the computed distance at any given 
        point.
