Dear RSTT researcher,

The kmz files in this directory display the tessellation nodes for RSTT model na1010pn.  This particular model features ~0.5 degree resolution in North America and ~1.0 degree resolution elsewhere.  There is a kmz file for each South American country, except for French Guiana, for which I currently do not have border coordinates.  There is also a kmz file that contains all na1010pn nodes outside of the individual country files.  

After opening the kmz files in GoogleEarth, clicking on a tessellation node should list the latitude, longitude, and node number.  The node number will be useful for model updating efforts.

Please Note! The border files that I used are crude and some embayments are not accurately mapped.  As a result, the RSTT nodes listed in each country file are not definitive.  My apologies for the inaccuracies.
