World Cities represents a base map layer of the locations of cities for the world. The cities include national capitals, provincial capitals, major population centers, and landmark cities.

This data set includes location and high-level project information provided to CH2MHILL Polar Services (www.polar.ch2m.com) by members of the US Interagency Arctic Research and Policy Committee. Information about fieldwork in the Arctic has been provided by the National Science Foundation, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. CH2MHILL compiled the information in the Arctic Research Logistics Support Service (ARLSS) database of scientific field research projects for the Arctic region (45 degrees North Latitude and above). The database encompasses all field research sites supported or coordinated through the Arctic Research Support and Logistics Program at the National Science Foundation (NSF). The majority of the research projects are funded by the Arctic Sciences Section (ARC) within NSF's Office of Polar Programs (OPP). The database does not include modeling projects that do not require field research. Each database record includes: investigator name, project title, year, funding agency, funding program, a link to an award description, and other information. The ARLSS database contains over 10,000 records, and is regularly updated. The database is publicly available in variety of formats to address the needs of different user communities. The data can be browsed via 2D and 3D interfaces online or accessed in Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) formats including a Web Map Service (WMS), Web Feature Service (WFS) and Keyhole Markup Language (KML).

This ArcGIS service includes support for OGC WMS. It is the result of value added processing of the following data sources: (1) Global Digital Elevation Model (GTOPO30) represents gridded 30 arc seconds (+- 1 Km) elevation for the world. These data were by developed by the USGS EROS Data Center in 1996 from a variety of data sources. (2) Global Digital Elevation Model (ETOPO2) represents gridded 2 minute by 2 minute) elevation and bathymetry for the world. These data were derived from the National Geophysical Data Center (NGDC) ETOPO2 Global 2' Elevations data set from September 2001. Symbology and transparency settings were established using ArcGIS ArcMap software prior to exposing the service.
