gridCountriesNumeric: A gloabl half degree grid specifying the country at each cell

Description

A grid covering the globe at half degree resolution, specifying the country (UN numeric code) at each cell.

Format

The format is:

 Formal class 'SpatialGridDataFrame'
[package "sp"] with 6 slots ..@ data :'data.frame': 259200 obs. of 1
variable: .. ..$ country.asc: num [1:259200] NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

Details

Uses a simple grid map defining a single country identity for each half degree cell. (sp, SpatialGridDataFrame), used by the function aggregateHalfDegreeGridToCountries()
