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 14-15, 2008, the USGS conducted an oblique aerial photographic survey (during Field Activity Number (FAN) 08ACH06, http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=08ACH06) along the Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana barrier islands and the north Texas coast, aboard a Beechcraft Super King Air 200 aircraft at an altitude of 500 feet (ft) and approximately 1,200 ft offshore (Figure 2, https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0990/html/ds990_fig2.html). This mission was flown to collect data for assessing incremental changes since the last survey, flown September 9-10, 2008 (FAN 08ACH05, http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=08ACH05), and the data 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 aircraft and do not indicate the location of the feature in the images (see the Navigation Data page, https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0990/html/ds990_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. Photographs can be opened directly with any JPEG-compatible image viewer by clicking on a thumbnail on the contact sheet. All image times were recorded in UTC. Table 1 (https://pubs.usgs.gov/ds/0990/html/ds990_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 collected as part of the September 14-15, 2008, post-Hurricane Ike oblique aerial survey conducted along the Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana barrier islands and the north Texas coast and to provide access to attribute data that document the time and location of where each photograph was taken.

Data_Quality_Information:

Attribute_Accuracy:

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

Best attempts were made to set the camera to UTC on the GPS receivers at the beginning of each flight. The clock of the Compix Titler unit was also set to UTC at the same time. Human error during transcription of geographic position and time from the video is possible; however, no obvious errors were observed. Latitude, longitude, and time were collected at an interval of approximately once per second. 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.

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: 15 meters

Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Explanation:

Based on manufacturer specifications where available. The GPS receiver used to provide navigation to the video titler unit was a Garmin GPS 18 PC, Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) enabled, which is accurate to within <15 meters.

Logical_Consistency_Report:

Data presented here include the digitally collected photographs in JPEG format with Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) headers embedded with the individual photograph's location along the flight path of a post-Hurricane Ike coastal oblique aerial photographic survey of the coast, taken along the Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana barrier islands and the north Texas coast. This mission was flown on September 14-15, 2008, aboard a Beechcraft Super King Air 200, tail number N924AC. Crew members of the USGS in St. Petersburg, Fla., were Karen L.M. Morgan, M. Dennis Krohn, Kristy K. Guy, and Abby Sallenger, with pilot, Rob Kent, of Bay Air Charters, Inc. Also on the flight was Cornelia Dean (New York Times). Still photography was collected along the coast during this survey. Photographer: Karen L.M. Morgan. GPS Data Collection - Instrument: Garmin GPS 18 PC, WAAS enabled. Data Collection Interval: 1 Second. Data File Format: Native Fugawi and Text. Number of files created: 2. Computer: Panasonic Toughbook CF-51. Software: Fugawi Marine ENC, ver. 4.4 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 08ACH06 please see http://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=08ACH06.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Image Acquisition: Photographs were taken using a Nikon D1X camera. The camera was tethered to a Panasonic CF-51 Toughbook. Images were written directly to the computer hard drive using Nikon Capture Control Version 4.4.2. Best effort was made at the beginning of the flight to synchronize the computer's and the camera's internal clocks to within 1 second of UTC time from the GPS sensor. The D1X records GPS in the EXIF Header. Image size is approximately 6 megapixels. Photographer: Karen L.M. Morgan. Note: GPS locations indicate the position of the aircraft at the time of the photograph, not the position of the feature in the image.

Video Aquisition: The video was shot out of the rear starboard window of the airplane using a Sony DCR-VX1000 Handycam operated by Kristy Guy. The camera sent the video signal to a Panasonic AG-5700 to record on Super Video Home System (SVHS) tape. The SVHS video was digitally captured using MAC iMovie and divided into 5-minute segments consistent with the 5-minute HTML pages, each spanning a 5-minute section of the flight. Mini Digital Video tapes failed to record. The video files are not included in this report.

The storm track (in KML format) was provided by Unisys Weather (http://weather.unisys.com/hurricane/index.php). The USGS is the originator of all other layers. To aid navigation through the KML file, each image was assigned a sequential KML number. Table 1 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.
