Established 5 temporary control points tied to “Pt. Mark” using differential GPS. These control points were used as reference marks for station establishment of the total station. The total station was used to obtain ground elevations referenced to the WGS84 ellipsoid in six different ground cover Environments including: bare earth; shallow water; emergent vegetation; tall vegetation; short vegetation and mangrove scrub.
Info derived
Ground Elevation and vegetation heights referenced to control point "Pt. Mark" on the Chandeleur Islands in various ground cover environments.
Comments
University of New Orleans will revisit some of the same sites using RTK GPS during the actual mapping flights.
