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 December 4, 2009, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey from Ocean City, Maryland, to Hatteras, North Carolina, aboard a U.s. Coast Guard H60 Helicopter at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore (Figure 2, https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0930/html/ds930_fig2.html). This mission was flown to collect data for assessing incremental changes since the last surveys, flown in May 2009 (http://compass.er.usgs.gov/activity_popup.php?id=154) and May 2008 (http://compass.er.usgs.gov/activity_popup.php?id=114), 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, https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0930/html/ds930_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 (see process step below). 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 UTC. Table 1 (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0930/html/ds930_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 December 4, 2009, Post-Nor'Ida oblique aerial survey collected along the coast, from Ocean City, Maryland, to Hatteras, North Carolina, and to provide access to attribute data that documents the time and location of where each photograph was taken.

Supplemental_Information:

NOTE: No photographs were taken during the following 5-minute segment: ds930_2009_1204_183000, ds930_2009_1204_184500. For a summary of field activity 09ACH03 please see .

Data_Set_Credit:

Funding and (or) support for this study was provided by the USGS Coastal and Marine Geology Program (CMGP). The authors wish to thank pilot, Lt. William Coty, LTJG Matt Herring, and AMT3 Ed Sychora of the Elizabeth City U.S. Coast Guard Airstation, for their assistance in data collection. This report benefited from the comments and reviews of Ginger Range with the USGS St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC) - St. Petersburg, Fla., and Jacquelyn Overbeck. Cherokee Nation Technology Solutions contracted to the USGS St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center (SPCMSC).

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Due to equipment restrictions by the USCG, no GPS data were collected during the flight.

Completeness_Report:

No known issues. The survey was suspended from approximately 183000 to 184500.

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: unknown

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:

GPS not available during flight. No Accuracy value available. Image locations were estimated. Positional error could be large. Image positions were post-processed using two previous flights, May 2008 and May 2009, by matching image features and assigning the GPS location of the previous flight's image to the corresponding image from this flight. Matches were made along the coast approximately every one to two minutes of flight time. The time of capture (timestamp) for each image was recorded in the image header during the flight. Based on the timestamp from the camera, a time was assigned to each GPS location, and then the estimated GSP track for the whole flight was calculated at a resolution of one position per second per record. 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.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Data presented here include the digitally collected photographs in JPEG format with EXIF headers imbedded with the individual photograph's location along the flight path of a Post-Nor'Ida coastal oblique aerial photographic survey of the coast, from Ocean City, Maryland, to Hatteras, North Carolina. This mission was flown on December 4, 2009, aboard a U.S. Coast Guard HH60 Helicopter, tail number 6017. Crew members of the USGS in St. Petersburg, Fla., include Karen L M. Morgan, M. Dennis Krohn and Kristy Guy, with pilot, Lt. William Coty, Ltjg Matt Herring, and AMT3 Ed Sychorafor of U.S. Coast Guard. GPS Data Collection - none. Due to equipment restrictions by the USCG, no GPS data were collected during the flight. Image positions were post-processed using two previous flights, May 2008 and May 2009, by matching image features and assigning the GPS location of the previous flight's image to the corresponding image from this flight. Matches were made along the coast approximately every one to two minutes of flight time. The time of capture (timestamp) for each image was recorded in the image header during the flight. Based on the timestamp from the camera, a time was assigned to each GPS location, and then the estimated GSP track for the whole flight was calculated at a resolution of one position per second per record. The positions of the remaining images were then interpolated to give the best GPS position for each image. The estimated time/GPS file can be found in the Nav Folder (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0930/nav.).

Lineage:

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Photographs were taken using a Nikon D1X camera. Images were written to an internal flash card. Best effort was made at the beginning of the flight to synchronize the camera's internal clocks to within 1 second of UTC time from the GPS sensor. The D1X records time in the EXIF Header. Image size is approximately 6 megapixels. Note: The estimated GPS locations record estimated navigation fixes of the aircraft, not the position of the features imaged.

The storm track (in KML format) was provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The USGS is the originator of all other layers. To aid navigation through the Keyhole Markup Language (KML) file, each image was assigned a sequential KML number. Table 1 (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0930/html/ds930_table.html) of this report shows the KML number given to each image, the corresponding image name, and associated attributes. Each point on the Google Earth file contains the KML number, storm name, latitude, longitude, image name, geographic area, date, time, a thumbnail of the full-size photograph, and links to the full-size photographs and contact sheets.
