MCAS-S Data Pack
The Australian national data layers are a collection of datasets converted for use in MCAS-S and which are relevant to natural resource evaluation and management. The datasets are available in open formats such as GeoTiffs and shapefiles, with accompanying tip files which details the data sets, processing and links to original metadata. MCAS-S allows users to work with four types of data:
| Primary input data | Gridded raster input layers for display and for undertaking analysis |
| Classified data | Gridded raster data layers created and exported using MCAS-S |
| Overlay data | Contextual vector data, lines or points for visual reference (such as rivers or towns) |
| Mask data | Gridded raster layers used to restrict the area of analysis or define regions for reporting |
