39234 agrihan_mosaic Data Set Published / External 37194 Pac_Terr Project Completed 2004 This project is a cooperative effort among the National Ocean Service, National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science, Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment; the University of Hawaii; and Analytical Laboratories of Hawaii, LLC. IKONOS imagery was purchased to support the Pacific Islands Geographic Information System (GIS) project and the National Ocean Service's (NOS) coral mapping activities. One-meter panchromatic and four-meter multi-spectral data were purchased for each study area. The enhanced spectral resolution of multispectral imagery and control of bandwidths of multispectral data yield an advantage over color aerial photography particularly when coral health and time series analysis of coral reef community structure are of interest. The IKONOS imagery was processed to minimize atmospheric and water column effects. Photointerpreters can accurately and reliably delineate boundaries of features in the imagery as they appear on the computer monitor using a software interface such as the Habitat Digitizer. The National Ocean Service is conducting research to digitally map biotic resources and coordinate a long-term monitoring program that can detect and predict change in U.S. Coral reefs, and their associated habitats and biological communities. 577 Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category biota Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category environment Theme ISO 19115 Topic Category oceans Theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus Version 1.0 Map Images > Ikonos Theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus Version 1.0 EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef monitoring and assessment > Mapping > Habitat mapping Theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus Version 1.0 EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef monitoring and assessment > Remote sensing > Satellite (digital scans) > IKONOS Theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus Version 1.0 Mapping > Habitat mapping Theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus Version 1.0 Remote sensing > Satellite (digital scans) > IKONOS Theme IKONOS Theme IKONOS imagery Theme Remotely Sensed Imagery/Photos Theme SAV Theme benthic Theme coral Theme habitat Theme mangrove Theme reef Theme seagrass Spatial CoRIS Place Thesaurus Version 1.0 COUNTRY/TERRITORY > Northern Mariana Islands > Agrihan Island > Agrihan Island (15N145E0002) Spatial CoRIS Place Thesaurus Version 1.0 OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > Western Pacific Ocean > Agrihan Island > Agrihan Island (15N145E0002) Spatial Agrihan Spatial Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands Spatial United States National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science Silver Spring MD Data Set None Planned remote-sensing image These data were prepared by an agency of the United States Government.
