Description
Inventory of satellite images from DigitalGlobeâs WorldView-2 satellite purchased by the NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Program for Timor-leste from Jan 26, 2010 to August 10, 2014. Images were acquired for purposes of deriving seafloor depths and benthic habitat classes for the nearshore waters (< 20m depths) of Timor-leste. In addition to the inventory, the dataset includes the regions of interest (ROI) defined by NOAA used to define the geographic areas to acquire the satellite images from DigitalGlobe, the boundary extent of the available images within each ROI, and the footprint (extent) of each image. The data within each satellite image is clipped to the ROI. The ROI, boundary, and footprint files are provided in shapefile format, and the inventory is provided as a text file, which corresponds to the footprints shapefile.

|---|---|---|---|
| WV-2_Boundary_Timor.shp | Unknown | The boundary (extent) of the available WorldView-2 satellite images purchased by NOAA for each region in TImor-leste, including the north and south coastlines, the Island of Atauro, and the district of Oecusse. | Open resource |
| WV-2_ROI_Timor.shp | Unknown | The regions of interest (ROI) were used by NOAA to define the desired geographic areas in Timor-leste to purchase the WorldView-2 satellite imagery from DigitalGlobe. Images were acquired along the coasts of the four identified regions of interest (Atauro, North shore, Oecusse, and South shore).The ROI was used by DigitalGlobe to clip the data within each satellite image. | Open resource |
