Wind Speed, LV Watershed, raster, 1/2000 to 12/2015

Wind Speed, LV Watershed, raster, 1/2000 to 12/2015 Reference Information and Units: GCS: EPSG:4326 (http://spatialreference.org/). Projection: Data has not been projected. Pixel Size: 0.125 degrees, approx. 14km at the equator. Units: m/s-1. At surface. Data values are monthly means of daily means. File Naming Convention: WS_Year_month Data Origin: ERA Interim, Monthly Means of Daily Means, and was developed by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). http://apps.ecmwf.int/datasets/data/interim-full-moda/levtype=sfc/ Sensor: Various, "Reanalysis (as well as analysis) is a process by which model information and observations of many different sorts are combined in an optimal way to produce a consistent, global best estimate of the various atmospheric, wave and oceanographic parameters." Code: for %A in ("C:\temp\*.nc") do gdal_translate -of GTiff -ot FLOAT32 -a_srs "+init=epsg:4326" -unscale -co "COMPRESS=PACKBITS" "%A" "%A.tif Data Development/Processing: Converted TIFF data was validated against the parent NetCDF file for correct cell size and pixel value. Output TIFFs were flipped. This was remedied via batch flipping in ArcGIS (Flip tool). The GCS was batch defined in ArcGIS as SR-ORG:14. Processed data was then batch clipped to Lake Victoria and the surrounding lakes and statistics were calculated.
