Bounding Polygons

Here is what I (Debbie) have for Bounding Box Coordinates. Colee also has a GAP CD
with polygon (not box) coordinates for the Sierra NV. In cases where
polygons can be used, we should use the GAP coordinates since the bounding
box coordinates take in a lot of FLAT/WARM area outside the study area
(which is only of interest to JC and I!).

CLPX:
Estimated from the CLPX web site

Large Study Area:
N-Bounding: 42 N
S-Bounding: 38.5 N
W-Bounding: 108.5 W
E-Bounding: 103.5 W

Small Study Area:
N-Bounding: 41 N
S-Bounding: 39.4 N
W-Bounding: 107.5 W
E-Bounding: 104.8 W

Sierra Nevada:
Estimated from map on Colee's wall

N-Bounding: 41.0 N
S-Bounding: 35.25 N
W-Bounding: 122.5 W
E-Bounding: 118.0 W

Following is from Roger Bales e-mail, 4/12/04:
Dear Debbie,
As per your todo list here are coordinates for:
1) Colorado & Rio Grande playbox we used for RESAC (large RESAC box)
2) Only upper Rio Grande part of that playbox
I think htere were sample images of both in my ppt slides from the meeting.
Regards,
Roger

P.S. As to Southern Sierra, perhaps that falls within the playbox for
routine REASoN products? What are the standard Sierra Nevada coordinates?
