In the spring of 2000, I recieved a few zip files containing in total 126 different point coverages, each depicting spatial location of various kinds of boats on different kinds of days. After my initial processing, I saved all of the corrected files into an archive file, which contains arc info exports of all of the 126 coverages. I then did some extra processing to combine the boats, boat types, and locations of all boat types and dates into one giant file. The natural neighbor joins between boats on a given day were also recorded into a single file.
A summary of the data processing, which is meant to be a beginning to a methodology section, is presented here.
Hi Charles
Here is what I'm describing. Here is the boats on the depth coverage. Incedentally, here is the same, but with the boats shaded according to average distance to their neighbors.
