− | As the name implies, a Tarsier Raster Data file (.tra) is Tarsier's gridded data format. It is made up of two parts: 1) an ASCII header file that specifies the structure of the grid and data properties, and 2) a series of data values stored as binary numbers.

− | This raster is a 25 X 25 pixel lat/long grid with the lower left corner located at the intersection of the prime meridian and the equator. The resolution is 1 degree. Data points are stored as floating point numbers (can include signed decimals) and the value -9999 represents no data.

− | The size of the raster is limited by the memory of your machine, but most modern computers can easily handle raster up to 49,000,000 pixles (7,000 x 7,000).
