* » Abstract

The imagery posted on this site is of the surrounding regions after Tropical Storm Ernesto made landfall. The aerial photography missions were conducted by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division. The images were acquired from a nominal altitude of 7,500 feet, using an Emerge/Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS).
* Purpose

This imagery was acquired by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division to support NOAA national security and emergency response requirements. This rapid response product was generated for use by emergency managers for visual analysis of damage in the landfall area. It is not intended for mapping, charting or navigation. In addition, it will be used for ongoing research efforts for testing and developing standards for airborne digital imagery.

• Supplemental Information

The ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 50 cm (1.64 feet). Image file size is between 1 MB and 3 MB. In an effort to acquire imagery in a timely manner after the landfall of the tropical storm, clouds may be present in the imagery. To expidite processing required for a rapid response, a single UTM zone was used even if the project area spanned multiple zones. Be advised that the Bounding Coordinates reflect the extents of the images acquired for this flight only and do not imply full image coverage of the area.
