Abstract:
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) conducts baseline and storm-response photography missions to document and understand the changes in vulnerability of the Nation's coasts to extreme storms. On September 18–19, 2015, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from Navarre Beach, Florida, to Breton Island, Louisiana (fig. 1,
http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1008/downloads/maps/index.jpg), aboard a Maule MT57 aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore (fig. 2,
http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1008/html/ds1008_fig2.html). This mission was conducted to collect data for assessing incremental changes since the last survey, which was flown September 2014 (
http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2014-326-FA) and can be used for assessing future coastal change. The photographs provided are Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. The photograph locations are estimates of aircraft positions and do not indicate the location of the feature in the images (See the Navigation Data page,
http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1008/html/ds1008_nav.html). These photographs document the configuration of the barrier islands and other coastal features at the time of the survey. ExifTool was used to add the following to the header of each photo: time of collection, Global Positioning System (GPS) latitude, GPS longitude, keywords, credit, artist (photographer), caption, copyright, and contact information. Photographs can be opened with any JPEG-compatible image viewer by clicking on a thumbnail on the contact sheet. All image times are recorded in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). Table 1 (
http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/1008/html/ds1008_table.html) provides detailed information about the assigned location, name, date, and time the photograph was taken along with links to the photograph. In addition to the photographs, a Google Earth Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file is provided and can be used to view the images by clicking on the marker and then on the thumbnail or the link above the thumbnail. The KML files were created using the photographic navigation files. Note: A KML number was assigned to each photograph to aid in navigation of the Google Earth file. These numbers correspond to the site labels in Google Earth.
To provide access to digital photographs taken as part of the September 18–19, 2015, baseline oblique aerial survey collected along the coast from Navarre Beach, Florida, to Breton Island, Louisiana, and to provide access to attribute data that document the time and location for each photograph taken.
Supplemental_Information:
For a summary of field activity 2015-335-FA, please see
https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2015-335-FA. Bounding coordinates for the oblique aerial survey are derived from the overall flight path found in the raw GPS data. Ancillary files included in this publication are ds1008_2015-335-FA_0918_gpsmap196.txt; ds1008_2015-335-FA.csv; and ds1008_2015-335-FA.kml, in addition to the digitized oblique aerial image files. Note: The GPS time stamp was not recorded during the first leg of the flight on September 18, 2015 (Navarre Beach, Florida to Ship Island, Mississippi). While the GPS position remains accurate, the position of the photographs along that flight line are estimated and might contain a larger positional error than other imagery in this data series. The photographs subject to this possible error were taken between 14:26:08 GMT and 16:27:45 GMT on September 18, 2015.
