2002 NSHM Gridded Data

These files contain space-delimited, rectangular gridded data over the Conterminous 48 States in 0.05 degree increments in longitude (x-value) and latitude (y-value), starting from a northwest point at 50°N 125°W and ending at a southeast point at 24.6°N 65°W. Values are ordered starting in the northwest, proceeding across longitude values keeping the latitude value the same until the eastern-most point for that latitude value is reached, then wrapping to next latitude value and restarting with the western-most longitude value. This processes is repeated until the aforementioned grid is filled.
