<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings. I recently attempted spatial joins of meteorological stations in New Mexico to zip and census polygons and found the raw longitude and latitude problematic to work with. Even after converting to decimal values it appeared station
values are displaced from NM features in NAD 83 projections. Does anyone know the coordinate system used for station data or where that is documented and can be found?<o:p></o:p></p>
