This data set consists of 0.5-meter pixel resolution, four band orthoimages covering the Humboldt Bay area. An orthoimage is remotely sensed image data in which displacement of features in the image caused by terrain relief and sensor orientation have been mathematically removed. Orthoimagery combines the image characteristics of a photograph with the geometric qualities of a map. Each orthoimage provides imagery over a DOQQQ with a 100-meter image overlap between adjacent files. The projected coordinate system is UTM Zone 10 North with a NAD83 datum.

Project: NOAA 2016 Multispectral Coastal Imagery Project - Connecticut Shoreline Orthoimagery Contract No. EA133C11CQ0010 Reference No. NCNP0000-16-01163 Woolpert Order No. 76783 CONTRACTOR: Woolpert, Inc. This project represents the collection of high resolution 4-band (RGB-IR) orthoimagery covering approximately 876 square miles at a 6" (0.5-foot) ground sample distance (GSD). The 4-band (RGB-IR) digital orthophotos will be delivered as 16-bit red, green, blue and infrared bands in uncompressed GeoTIFF format. The area of interest (AOI) was flown between July 26, 2016 and August 24, 2016 (specifically July 26, 2016; July 27, 2016; July 30, 2016; August 3, 2016, August 4, 2016; August 5, 2016, August 6, 2017; August 8, 2016; August 9, 2016; August 24, 2016). This area includes: all land areas within one-thousand (1,000) feet of Mean High Water (MHW) and within one-thousand (1,000) feet of state-regulated tidal wetlands; offshore areas at least two-thousand (2,000) feet waterward of either the mainland or island land masses in order to clearly depict the interface between the shore and coastal waters; all offshore islands within the borders of the State of Connecticut including: Goose Island and Falkner Island (offshore of Branford); Calf Islands and Great Captain Island (offshore of Greenwich); Norwalk Islands (offshore of Norwalk); Thimble Islands (offshore of Branford); Sandy Point (offshore of Stonington); all islands in the Connecticut part of Fishers Island Sound; and the Connecticut River from Long Island Sound to the Connecticut/Massachusetts state line.

This data set contains ortho-rectified mosaic tiles, created as a product from the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative. The source imagery was acquired from 20170413 - 20170417 with an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). The original images were acquired at a higher resolution to support the final ortho-rectified mosaic.

All imagery was collected during the 2012 Spring flying season during leaf-off conditions for deciduous vegetation in the State of Georgia. The sun angle was at 30-degrees or greater, and streams were within their normal banks. During the flight planning and acquisition, a significant effort was made to limit clouds, snow, fog, haze, smoke, or other ground obscuring conditions in the imagery. In no case does the maximum cloud cover exceed 5% per image. Within the immediate areas of power plants, factories, or controlled agricultural burns some steam or smoke and/or shadows may be visible on imagery.

This data set contains ortho-rectified mosaic tiles, created as a product from the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative. The source imagery was acquired on 20120407. The images were acquired with an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). The original images were acquired at a higher resolution than the final ortho-rectified mosaic.

Project: NOAA Digital Orthophotography for the Coasts of Main/New Hampshire, Massachusetts/Rhode Island/Connecticut, and Hudson River/Long Island /NY/NJ Contract No. EA133C11CQ0010 Reference No. NCNP0000-14-00967 Woolpert Order No. 74571 CONTRACTOR: Woolpert, Inc. The project represents the collection of digital orthoimagery for the coasts of Maine and New Hampshire; Massachusetts and Rhode Island; Connecticut, the Hudson River, Long Island and the NY/NJ metro area. The work was requested by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Office of Response and Restoration division. The imagery is being acquired for use in the development of the ESI (Environmental Sensitivity Index) data in this same region. The entire project area includes approximately 11,669 square miles.

The NOAA Office for Coastal Management purchased digital ADS40 imagery and digital elevation models of the Connecticut coastline in 2004. The Coastal Connecticut project area is comprised of approximately 930 square miles. A total of 244 orthos (122 natural color and 122 color infrared) were produced to cover this area. Aerial imagery was collected in panchromatic, Red, Green, Blue and Near Infrared which yielded a natural color and false color infrared version of the completed digital orthophotography. In addition to producing the digital ortho imagery a first surface (reflective surface) elevation data set was produced. Imagery was collected at an approximate altitude of 15,750 feet above mean terrain. Original contact information: Contact Name: Harold Rempel Contact Org: EarthData International, Inc.

This imagery was captured September 20, 2015 for the Hawaiian Monk Seal Research Program. Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) are being tested to assess their effectiveness for capturing images of seals and other wildlife. In addition to single photographs, an orthomosaic of Southeast Island was created as part of a mapping exercise over the island using an APH-22 hexacopter. The mosaic output is a GeoTIFF in WGS84 UTM Zone 1N.
