Precipitation Raster Clip
Temperature Raster Clip
This week I worked on clipping my raster data to show just the Western United States. The first map shows the annual average precipitation for the month of September in the western United States and the second map shows the annual average temperature for the month of September in the western United States. On top of the raster's, I have also clipped my western wind data set and the national park boundary data.
Next week I plan to add color to my rasters based on the ranking systems which I have already created. I also need to figure out how I will be showing wildfire hazard potential surrounding National Park boundaries in the western United States. I am not sure if I should choose the most popular national park in each state to show wildfire hazard potential or use each National Park in each state.
This is great so far! If you use each National Park in each Western State it might make your map seem jumbled, but an easy solution for that is to split some things up into separate maps, maybe northwest and southwest region. Its totally up to you and I cant wait to see how you approach this.
ReplyDeleteI had the same thought as Anna, to create multiple maps or data frames which can highlight different data you would like to present. Finding some type of correlation between wildfires and National parks would likely be beneficial. These maps look great so far and clipping the raster data was definitely effective.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anna and Erica, multiple maps may allow you to display your data more clearly while also including all of the locations you want. I was wondering what kind of boundaries you will be using, such as state or country outlines, to show locations, because it is a bit hard to pick out the states from the shape you have currently. I think an extent indicator might help too, to show exactly what part of the country we are looking at. Great job!
