Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Online_Linkage: http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0952 (in press) Description: 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 1, 2014, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from Navarre Beach, Florida, to Breton Island, Louisiana, aboard a Maule MT57 aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore (Figure 2, http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0952/html/ds952_fig2.html). This survey was flown to collect data for assessing incremental changes since the last survey, flown July 2013, and can be used for assessing future coastal change. The photographs provided here are Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) images. The photograph locations are an estimate of the position of the and aircraft do not indicate the location of the feature in the images (see the Navigation Data page for additional details, http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0952/html/ds952_nav.html). These photographs document the configuration of the barrier islands and other coastal features at the time of the survey. CSV: Comma separate values files representing table information collected during the flight. JPEG: Images can be opened directly with any JPEG-compatible image viewer. The survey's full-size photographs are divided into ?two ?areas. KML: ds952_2014-?326-FA.kml has? 1,111 photographs. TXT: Text files representing the navigation files, FACS log, metadata and readme files collected during and after the survey. KML: The KMLs provided may be viewed with Google Earth (http://www.google.com/earth/download/ge/agree.html). ExifTool (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/) is a free software program for reading, writing, and manipulating image, audio, and video metadata. 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 directly 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/0952/html/ds952_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 clicking on either 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 navigation of the Google Earth file. These numbers correspond to the site labels in Google Earth. Purpose: To provide access to digital photographs taken as part of the September 1, 2014, 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 of where each photograph was taken.

Completeness_Report: No known issues Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: Best attempts were made to maintain the same relative distance between the aircraft and the beach in order to keep a constant field of view. Quantitative_Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Assessment: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Value: 2 meters Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation: Based on manufacturer specifications where available. The GPS receiver used to provide navigation is accurate to within 2 meters. Logical_Consistency_Report: Data presented here include the digitally collected photographs in JPEG format with EXIF headers embedded with the individual photograph's location along the flight path of a baseline coastal oblique aerial photographic survey of the coast, from Navarre Beach, Florida, to Breton Island, Louisiana. This mission was flown on September 1, 2014, aboard a Maule MT57, tail number N5500K. Crew members, contracted by the USGS in St. Petersburg, Fla., include Amy Hartsfield (photography contractor) and pilot, Ian McIntyre, of Amy & Company, Inc. Still photography was collected along the coast during this survey. GPS Data Collection - Instrument: Garmin GPSMAP 196. Data Collection Interval: 1 second. Data File Format: Text. Number of files created: 1. Computer/Software: none. Computer: none The GPS unit was used to record navigation fixes of the aircraft, not the position of the features imaged. No photographs were taken during the following 5-minute segment due to transiting between locations: ds952_2014_0901_183500.html.
