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 October 5-6, 2014, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from the Virginia/North Carolina border to Montauk Point, New York, aboard a Cessna 182 aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore (Figure 2, http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0958/html/ds958_fig2.html). This survey was flown to collect data for assessing incremental changes since the previous survey, flown November 2012, and can be used to assess 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 aircraft and do not indicate the location of the feature in the images (see the Navigation Data page, for additional details, http://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0958/html/ds958_nav.html). These photographs document the configuration of the barrier islands and other coastal features at the time of the survey. 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/0958/html/ds958_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 October 5-6, 2014, baseline oblique aerial survey collected along the coast, from the Virginia/North Carolina border to Montauk Point, New York, and to provide access to attribute data that document the time and location of where each photograph was taken.

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 the Virginia/North Carolina border to Montauk Point, New York. This mission was flown on October 5-6, 2014, aboard a Cessna 182, tail number N8479S. Crew members, contracted by the USGS in St. Petersburg, Fla., include Carol McManus, photography contractor, with pilot, Lee McManus, of Top Cover Virginia, LLC. Still photography was collected along the coast during this survey. GPS Data Collection - Instrument: Garmin GPSMAP 696. Data Collection Interval: Variable, every 5-15 seconds. Data File Format: ASCII Number of files created: 1. Computer/Software: none Software: none. GPS file contains dates and times through Oct 7, 2014, 00:47:37 UTC, reflecting the aircraft transit back to the airport in Virginia. The GPS unit was used to record navigation fixes of the aircraft, not the position of the features imaged.
