What is the Gap Analysis?
The Gap Analysis allows us to get a broad idea of which parts of
the region have been covered to some extent. The initial view
offered shows the coverage level on a 1 degree block. If the user
clicks on one of these 1 degree blocks, the page will refresh to
show that area in pentad scale.
The user can then click on the pentad of interest to access the
submissions summary for the selected pentad, as well as an annual
summary of the Quarter Degree Grid Cell in which the pentad falls
(below the map). If the user selects an empty pentad, the summary of
the Quarter Degree Grid Cell is loaded below the map.
Quarter Degree grid cell (QDGC):
A 15 minute
x 15 minute coordinate grid super-imposed over the continent to for
spatial reference. One QDGC comprises of 9 pentads.
