GSHHS and WDB II Data

The data in these Igor experiments was created from the gshhs+wdbii_2.2.0.zip
file downloaded from:
  http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/shorelines/data/gshhs/version2.2.0/

Each experiment contains three sets of waves:
	Continents_Lat, Continents_Lon
	Borders_Lat, Borders_Lon
	Rivers_Lat, Rivers_Lon

The data is available in the following resolutions:
  Full
  High
  Intermediate
  Low

Each experiment contains the three sets of waves at a specified resolution.

The data was loaded using the Igor GIS Utilities package and rotated to
Greenwich meridian. Here are the steps used to load the full resolution data:
