pick an alaska focused polar projection #1

Closed dayne closed 7 years ago

dayne commented 10 years ago

Goal: Pick an Alaskan focused circum-arctic polar projection to standardize web tile services on for Leaflet and OpenLayers web maps that other major Alaska web map application developers would be willing to also adopt.

Why: For fast performance each projection supported for tiles it increases the need for yet another copy of the same imagery stored a different set of tiles.

Alaska centered - polar - equal area: http://nsidc.org/data/atlas/epsg_3572.html

Look at that - we picked this - now it is used not just by GINA but tons of others Arctic users. Closing ticket. good pick!
