TITLE: STATE WIDE WINDSPEED
Geodataset Name: WINDSPEED Geodataset Type: SHAPEFILE Geodataset Feature: LINEGENERAL DESCRIPTION:
| This dataset contains state wide wind speed data relating to the compliance of structural requirements for buildings and their wind load capacity. The wind speed lines govern the design strength necessary to comply with the Florida Building Code. |

A note concerning data scale: Scale is an important factor in data usage. Certain scale datasetsare not suitable for some project, analysis, or modelling purposes. Please be sure you are using the best available data. 1:24000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the county level. 1:24000 data should NOT be used for high accuracy base mapping such as property parcel boundaries. 1:100000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the multi-county or regional level. 1:250000 scale datasets are recommended for projects that are at the regional or state level or larger. Vector datasets with no defined scale or accuracy should be considered suspect. Make sure you are familiar with your data before using it for projects or analyses. Every effort has been made to supply the user with data documentation. For additional information, see the References sectionand the Data Source Contact section of this documentation. For more information regarding scale and accuracy, see our web pages at: http://www.geoplan.ufl.edu/education.html |

GeoPlan received this dataset in November 2004. The data received was in shapefile format and in the following projection: Albers, NAD 83, HARN, ALBERS. The dataset was divided into county subsets. - Appended counties into a state wide layer. - Added field "County" based on the county the line resides in. - Added field "Source" based on the county the data was received from. - Updated fields missing "Length" using Xtools.
