File: lttranutm.xls lttranutm.xls refers to the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) coordinates of selected transects established in USFS Studies FSRM 1706-09, FSRM 1706-12, FSRM 1706-15, and FSRM 1706-25. This file includes a single X and single Y coordinate recorded for these permanent transects. Measurements of the UTM coordinates were taken at the start or “0” mark at each transect. UTM coordinates are updated each year that measurements of density, cover, fetch, and basal diameter were performed. Typical precision for handheld Global Position System (GPS) devices is 3-5 m. Horizontal coordinate system definition: NAD_1983_UTM_Zone_12N is the Projected coordinate system name, and GCS_North_American_1983 is the Geographic coordinate system name. Universal Transverse Mercator Zone is 12N. lttranutmnotes.txt 26 August 2012
