I'm trying to project a PRISM precipitation raster to match a vector data's projected coordinate system so that I can perform zonal statistics on it. The original raster data has a GCS of NAD 1983 and I'm trying to project it into Albers Equal Area Conic. What should be the anticipated effect of using the Project Raster GP tool (ArcMap 10.4, SP1) on my original raster dataset?
It appears that the cell size, extent, and spatial location have all changed between my original dataset and my projected dataset. I used measure tool to check cell size. Also, the suggested resampling technique for continuous precipitation data should either be cubic of bilinear, but regardless of what resampling I choose, there are changes to the original dataset.
