World 1° by 1° Graticular Blocks - Web Service

Abstract

This is a dataset of the world divided into 1° by 1° blocks, in the WGS84 datum. The blocks are organised and named using the International UTM Map Index and contain attribution concerning name, area and point of origin. The dataset is intended to assist with offshore fisheries, petroleum and minerals licensing by providing a regular graticulated system of blocks. The blocks were created using the same method as used for the Australian Offshore Minerals Blocks, and have used the same naming convention, which is derived from the map sheets. The blocks have been densified with a vertex added every 30 seconds to ensure they display correctly regardless of map projection.

Lineage

This dataset was created for the purposes of providing a graticular framework for the world based on the International UTM map index. It was created using the tools developed by Geoscience Australia for the Australian Offshore Minerals Blocks products. Horizontal precision is expected to be within 10 cm.
