Abstract:
On August 15, 2004, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducted an aerial survey off the southwest coast of Florida, starting in the south at Marco Island to Fort DeSoto in the north. These data along with Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) coastal topographic and bathymetric data collected on August 16, 2004 (Bonisteel and others, 2009), will be used to detect coastal changes such as beach erosion and overwash caused by Hurricane Charley. These data will also be used to track future coastal change. This report serves as an archive of the Post-Hurricane Charley coastal oblique aerial survey photographs, flight path maps, Google Earth files, navigation files, digital Field Activity Collection System (FACS) logs, and Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata. Attribute data including links to digital scans of the photographs are also provided.
Latitude, longitude and/or time were gathered simultaneously from video (with latitude/longitude and time stamps), photographs (with time stamps) and a Precision Lightweight GPS Receiver (PLGR) navigation file (without time) that documented the location of the aircraft. Location data were converted to decimal degrees and merged to create a location and time file that provided estimated location information for where each photograph was taken (see process step below). Slides were digitally scanned as TIFF image files at 3,000 dots per inch and were converted to JPEG image files which are provided here. The header values filename, date/time, location, latitude, longitude, city, state, country, keywords, description (caption), source, contact info, credits, make, model, artist, copyright, image, history, user comments, and comments were added to the digital photograph's EXIF header. Refer to the Process Steps below for more detail on each of these steps.
Purpose:
To provide access to digitized photographs taken as part of the August 15, 2004, Post-Hurricane Charley coastal oblique aerial survey collected off the southwest coast of Florida from Marco Island to Fort DeSoto, Fla. and to provide access to attribute data that documents the time and location (to the best of our ability) of where each photograph was taken.

Location map of all survey data collected during USGS field activity 04CCH01. This map was created at a scale of 1:915,000. Map showing the post-Hurricane Charley flight path study area. Blue and yellow colored sections of the flight path correspond to 5-minute flight segments that link to a contact sheet of associated photo thumbnails. Gray dots show the estimated location of where the photograph was taken. Red line shows the storm track, and orange dot designates the category based on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. The map insets link to a more detailed view of the area. The insets also exhibit how the full-size photographs are divided on the DVD version of this report, northern counties (Pinellas, Manatee, Sarasota, and Charlotte; Disc 1) and southern counties (Lee and Collier; Disc 2) (Internet version unaffected). Refer to the Lineage section below for the flight path map creation process and other details.
