GSHHS is a high-resolution shoreline data set amalgamated from two
|
|
databases in the public domain. The data have undergone extensive
|
|
processing and are free of internal inconsistencies such as erratic
|
|
points and crossing segments. The shorelines are constructed
|
|
entirely from hierarchically arranged closed polygons. The data can
|
|
be used to simplify data searches and data selections, or to study
|
|
the statistical characteristics of shorelines and land-masses.
