79182 Data Set Published / External 37221 emergency_response Project Completed 2026 2026 Aerial imagery was acquired following a significant winter storm in targeted areas in Tennessee. The aerial photography missions were conducted by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division. The images were acquired using a Digital Sensor System (DSS) version 6. This imagery was acquired by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division to support NOAA national security and emergency response requirements. This aerial imagery will primarily support NOAA interests including safety of navigation, HAZMAT and marine debris impacts, as well as impacts to coastal zone management interests. It is not intended for mapping, charting or navigation. In addition, it will be used for ongoing research efforts for testing and developing standards for airborne digital imagery. The ground sample distance (GSD) for each image is 15 cm to 30 cm. All imagery acquired to support an emergency response is made available online through the online viewer and AWS. In an effort to acquire imagery in a timely manner after the event, clouds may be present in the imagery. Be advised that the bounding coordinates reflect the extents of the images acquired for this event and do not imply full image coverage of the area.

The absolute horizontal positions should be in the 3-5 meter range in areas with little or no topographic relief. The horizontal positional accuracy and the assurance of that accuracy are dependent upon the accuracy of the data inputs to the rectification process. Image Acquisition and Orthorectification Organization National Geodetic Survey, NGS 1 Individual images were ortho-rectified from POS AV GPS-Aided Inertial Navigation Solution parameters using OSSIM software provided by Radiant Blue. Mosaic data have not been histogram stretched and only minimal color balancing has been performed. The images are in 8 bit RGB. The DEM source is the USGS NED. Original image tiles are 2.5 km by 2.5 km squares. 2026-01-30T00:00:00 Organization National Geodetic Survey NGS https://ror.org/02f762h70 1315 East-West Hwy Silver Spring MD 20910 https://geodesy.noaa.gov/ gov.noaa.nmfs.inport:79182 Maryellen Sault 2026-01-30T15:52:44 SysAdmin InPortAdmin 2026-03-04T19:17:17 2026-01-30 National Geodetic Survey NGS 1002 Public No No 2021-08-30 1 Year 2022-08-30
