The objective of this effort, conducted by NOAA's Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment - Biogeography Branch in partnership with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) and Analytical Laboratories of Hawaii (ALH), was to provide spatially-explicit information on the habitat types, biological cover and live coral cover of Palmyra Atoll's coral reef ecosystem. 0.61m panchromatic and 2.44m multi-spectral data from the QuickBird 2 satellite sensor were purchased for the mapping area. Photo-interpreters accurately and reliably delineated boundaries of features from this QuickBird 2 imagery as they appeared on the computer monitor using a software interface. This product served as source information for a fine-scale assessment of the status, abundance, and distribution of marine habitats of Palmyra Atoll. The NOAA effort provides The Nature Conservancy with increased technical capacity for ocean exploration, management, and stewardship. Direct implications to management measures include evaluation of management efficacy, a spatial framework for improved monitoring sampling design, and improved assessment of human-use impacts. completed Mapping Data Manager National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment (CCMA), Biogeography Branch 301-713-3028 301-713-4384 1305 East West Highway, N/SCI-1 Silver Spring MD 20910 tim.battista@noaa.gov 0800 - 1700, Monday to Friday, EST pointOfContact notPlanned CoRIS_Metadata theme NCEI Geoportal Filter Environmental Monitoring theme NOS Data Explorer Topic Category coral seagrass reef QuickBird II benthic habitat mangrove theme None Map Images > Habitats theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs EARTH SCIENCE > Oceans > Coastal Processes > Coral Reefs > Atoll EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Aquatic Habitat > Benthic Habitat EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Mapping > Base map > Satellite Imagery EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Remote Sensing EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef Monitoring and Assessment > Remote Sensing > Satellite (digital scans) > Multispectral Analysis theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus United States Palmyra Atoll place None COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > USA Minor Outlying Islands > Palmyra Atoll (05N162W0001) OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > Central Pacific Ocean > Line Islands > Palmyra Atoll (05N162W0001) place CoRIS Place Thesaurus PRIA place CoRIS Region These data were prepared by an agency of the United States Government (NOAA).

This file is believed to be logically consistent. Bands 1 - 7: PCI OrthoEngine Pansharpening module was employed to create a high-resolution color image to be used for visual interpretation by NOAA scientists. It was applied to the QuickBird 2 imagery to increase the spatial resolution of the 2.44 m multispectral data to the panchromatic data resolution of 0.61 m. 2010-01-01T00:00:00 Mapping Data Manager National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment (CCMA), Biogeography Branch Lead Scientist 301-713-3028 1305 East West Highway Silver Spring MD 20910 tim.battista@noaa.gov processor Bands 1 - 7: Geo-referencing of the imagery was performed using PCI OrthoEngine module.

(2005) was applied to the pansharpened, orthorectified QuickBird 2 imagery to remove specular reflection from the sea surface. Reflection of solar radiation on non-flat water surfaces often results in areas of bright white sun glint in remotely sensed imagery. Typically, sun glint forms bands of white along wave edges on the windward side of nearshore environments. Sun glint can obscure bottom features and should be removed before habitat delineation. This is accomplished in this methodology by applying the ratio of reflectance of the near-infrared and visible band to each cell in the scene. 2010-01-01T00:00:00 Mapping Data Manager National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Ocean Service (NOS), National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS), Center for Coastal Monitoring and Assessment (CCMA), Biogeography Branch Lead Scientist 301-713-3028 1305 East West Highway Silver Spring MD 20910 tim.battista@noaa.gov processor Source Contribution: The satellite imaging company DigitalGlobe, Inc. provided raw, NITF files for four multispectral bands and a panchromatic file, along with rational polynomial coefficients (RPC's) for the five scenes.
