Data were acquired and post-processed using precise positioning and used to co-register and assess accuracy of photogrammetric data sets. Purpose: The data were acquired in support of a larger study to demonstrate the utility of using structure-from-motion photogrammetric methods for deriving digital elevation data using imagery acquired from a fixed-wing aircraft in remote environments. Companion data sets, including orthophotomosaics, elevation point clouds, and digital surface models are used to evaluate fine-scale morphological and volumetric change to beaches and permafrost bluffs.

Data were acquired kinematically at both fixed locations and along walking transects. Data were differentially post-processed using an On-line Positioning User Service (OPUS) derived base station solution based on GPS data from an average over multiple days. Logical_Consistency_Report: The differential processed GPS was checked for outliers and anomalies. Completeness_Report: Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Horizontal accuracy at static locations is approximately ±0.03 m. Horizonatal positions of points along the walking survey transects could be biased upward by 5 to 10 cm because of the data collection techniques. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Vertical accuracy at static locations is approximately ±0.03 m. Vertical positions of points along the walking survey transects could be biased upward by 5 to 10 cm because of the data collection techniques. Lineage: Process_Step: Process_Description: USGS field crews collected GPS coordinates on September 6 and 7, 2014 at a stationary base station, 3 fixed, monumented locations (CP-3, TSM-1, and TSM-2) and along 9 (walking) transects across low tundra bluffs that coincided with electrical resistivity survey transect (ERT) locations. The base station was an Ashtech Z-Extreme GPS receiver and external 2.25 m high antenna mounted on a tripod secured on the eastern railing to the ramp of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife bunkhouse in Kaktovik, Alaska. The coordinates of the base station were determined from On-line Positioning User Service (OPUS) solution based on GPS data from an average over multiple days. The rover was an Ashtech Z-Extreme GPS. The rover antenna was mounted on 2-m survey rod with a bubble level and 5-cm diameter, flat base. Rover data were post-processed using the OPUS derived position of the base station position and the PPP method in Grafnav software. A single position for each of the 3 monument points was determined from the mean value of a cluster of points collected over 1 minute. Positions along the walking transects along the ERT lines were edited to remove obvious spurious and duplicate points, but may be biased upward 5-10 cm because of the data collection techniques. Process_Date: 2014 Process_Step: Process_Description: USGS field crews collected GPS coordinates on September 17 and 18, 2016 at a stationary base station, 4 fixed, monumented locations (unnamed, CP-3, TSM-1, and TSM-2) and at 4 circular concrete pads at the former Petroleum-Oil-Lubricant (POL) tank farm of the Radar Station at Barter Island, Alaska. The base station was an Ashtech Z-Extreme GPS receiver and external 2.25 m high antenna mounted on a tripod secured on the eastern railing of the ramp to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife bunkhouse in Kaktovik, Alaska. The coordinates of the base station were determined from On-line Positioning User Service (OPUS) solution based on GPS data from an average over multiple days. The rover was an Ashtech Z-Extreme GPS. The rover antenna was mounted on 2-m survey rod with a bubble level and 5-cm diameter, flat base. Rover data were post-processed using the OPUS derived position of the base station position and the PPP method in Grafnav software. A single position for each of the 3 monument points was determined from the mean value of a cluster of points collected over 1 minute. Positions along the walking transects at the POL pads represent the ground surface. Process_Date: 2016 Process_Step: Process_Description: Title correction was made to a keyword thesaurus.
