Abstract: |
The imagery posted on this site is of the Gulf Coast of Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama after Hurricane Katrina made landfall. The regions photographed range from Grand Isle, Louisiana to Gulf Shores, Alabama. The aerial photograph missions were conducted by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division the day after Katrina made landfall, August 30 and concluded September 9. The images were acquired from an altitude of 7,500 feet, using an Emerge/Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). Over 7000 aerial images were obtained during this time period, with most available to view online and download. |
Purpose: |
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. |
Notes: |
1311 |
Supplemental Information: |
Please note that 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 unknown. Image file size is between 2 MB and 3 MB. In an effort to acquire imagery in a timely manner after the landfall of the Hurricane Katrina, clouds may be present in the imagery. |
