   Image Aquisition: Images were taken with a Nikon D7100 and written to internal camera cards. Image size is approximately 24 megapixels. Images in JPG format were saved using the filename format yyyy_mmdd_hhmmssd.jpg (where the "d" signifies digital acquisition using the Nikon D7100). The names provide information about the photograph's year, month, day, hour, minute, and second. For example, image 2015_1007_133636d.jpg was taken October 7, 2015, at 13:36:36 UTC. An effort was made to set the Nikon D7100's internal clock to within 1 second of UTC at the beginning of the flight. Person who carried out this activity:

   HTML Creation: The digital images were organized into 5-minute (time) segments. These 5-minute segments were used to create HTML pages, called contact sheets. A contact sheet was created for every 5-minute segment of the survey. The contact sheets contain thumbnails of each of the photographs. Each thumbnail links to the corresponding full-size area map or photograph. Person who carried out this activity:

   Geospatial Processing: The spreadsheets containing navigation data were edited using Microsoft Excel 2011 and saved as a CSV file to make them compatible with ArcGIS software. The latitude/longitude data from the CSV navigation file, called XSTORMS.h20151007_photographs, were used to produce Esri shapefiles using ArcGIS 10.1. These shapefiles were used to produce the JPEG maps included in this report. The shapefiles are not included in this report. Person who carried out this activity:

3. What similar or related data should the user be aware of?

How reliable are the data; what problems remain in the data set?

1. How well have the observations been checked?
   Best attempts were made to set the camera to UTC time on the GPS receivers at the beginning of each flight. Latitude, longitude, and time were collected at an interval of approximately once every three to five seconds. NOTE: Latitude and longitude positions in this report refer to the position of the aircraft, not the position of the landmarks photographed. Refer to the Process Steps below for more detail.
2. How accurate are the geographic locations?
   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.
3. How accurate are the heights or depths?
   
4. Where are the gaps in the data? What is missing?
   no known issues
5. How consistent are the relationships among the observations, including topology?
   Data presented here include the digitally collected photographs in JPEG format with Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) header embedded with the individual photograph's location along the flight path of a post-Hurricane Joaquin coastal oblique aerial photographic survey of the coast, taken from the South Carolina/North Carolina border to Montauk Point, New York. This mission was flown on October 7-9, 2015, aboard a Cessna 182 aircraft, tail number N8479S. Crew members, contracted by the USGS in St. Petersburg, Fla., included Carol McManus, photography contractor, and 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: American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII). Number of files created: 1. Computer/Software: none. The GPS unit was used to record navigation fixes of the aircraft, not the position of the features imaged. For a summary of field activity 2015-338-FA please see http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2015-338-FA.
