Aerial Imagery over U.S. Coastal Areas collected by the NOAA Office for Coastal Management dating from 1944 to Present

Description

This aerial imagery dataset consists of high resolution (1 inch up to 1 meter) true color, infrared, 4-band, black and white, and hyperspectral ortho-rectified mosaic tiles collected in coastal areas to support shoreline and coastal mapping efforts. This data is created as a product from the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) from data collected by the NOAA National Geodetic Survey (NGS), the NOAA Office for Coastal Management (OCM) and the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). The source imagery was acquired from airplane flights from across the United States since 1944 and is an ongoing project. Ortho-rectified mosaic tiles are an ancillary product supporting the Interagency Working Group - Ocean and Coastal Mapping with a goal of increasing support for multiple uses of the data. Most of the data was collected through NOAA NGS's Coastal Mapping Program (CMP) and typically has a ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel of 0.50 m, though more recent data may have a 0.35 m or 0.25 m GSD. Data collected by the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) is typically higher resolution with 0.05 m GSD. The rest of the data was acquired by OCM. OCM has an agreement with NGS and the USACE to archive the imagery that is delivered to OCM. The data set includes Geotiff (.tif) or ERDAS Imagine .img format images with associated GIS tile index shapefiles and a manifest file.
