• Rasterization run on MRGTESLA had finnished producing what looked like a valid
    output, so the run started in the previous section on arnold was cancelled.

  • Outputs on the respective computers were renamed as follows:
    MRGTESLA: wdpa_mask_eastern.tif
    arnold: wdpa_mask_western.tif

  • Metadata for these rasters (gdalinfo):

  • Note that the extents corresponds to the actual extents of the data. This has to be accounted for in merging the two rasters.

  • Both outputs were manually copied over to gpan-connectivity/data/WDPA.

  • Rasters wdpa_mask_eastern.tif and wdpa_mask_western.tif were merged
    together:
