Hurricane Jeanne Aerial Photography: High-Resolution Imagery of the Atlantic Coast of Florida After Landfall

The imagery posted on this site is of the Atlantic coast of Florida after Hurricane Jeanne made landfall. The regions photographed range along a 100-mile stretch from Melbourne to Palm Beach, Florida. The flights to collect the Florida detailed imagery were conducted between September 26 and October 1. The images were acquired from an altitude of 7,000 feet, using an Emerge/Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). Over 1,200 images of the Florida coastline affected by Hurricane Jeanne are available to view online and download.

This imagery was acquired by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division to support NOAA national security and emergency response requirements. In addition, it will be used for ongoing research efforts for testing and developing standards for airborne digital imagery.

These images are uncorrected and not rotated. The approximate ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 37 cm (1.2 feet). The images have 60% forward overlap, and sidelap for the mission was planned at 30%. In an effort to acquire imagery in a timely manner after the landfall of the Hurricane Jeanne, clouds may be present in the imagery. Image file size is between 2 MB and 3 MB.
