This data release provides satellite images used to test a method for inferring image acquisition time from shadow orientation. For many applications, such as linking remotely sensed data to streamflow recorded at a gaging station, knowing the time an image is acquired is important, but such metadata often is not available. The sundial method is a simple means of inferring image acquisition time from shadow orientation. Images with known acquisition times are used to test the approach. The file SundialDataRelease.csv contains image metadata, shadow measurements, and inferred image acquisition times based on the sundial method. The difference between the known acquisition times of the satellite images and those inferred via the sundial technique is used to assess the accuracy of the method. Please refer to the entity and attribute section of the metadata for further detail regarding this file. The file SundialImages.zip contains 16 WorldView satellite images with known acquisition times that were used to test the sundial method. Each image is provided in a GeoTIFF format that includes embedded spatial referencing information.
