IKONOS imagery was purchased to support the Pacific Islands Geographic Information System (GIS) project and the National Ocean Service's (NOS) coral mapping activities. One-meter panchromatic and four-meter multi-spectral data were purchased for each study area. The enhanced spectral resolution of multispectral imagery and control of bandwidths of multispectral data yield an advantage over color aerial photography particularly when coral health and time series analysis of coral reef community structure are of interest. The IKONOS imagery was processed to minimize atmospheric and water column effects. Photointerpreters can accurately and reliably delineate boundaries of features in the imagery as they appear on the computer monitor using a software interface such as the Habitat Digitizer. The National Ocean Service is conducting research to digitally map biotic resources and coordinate a long-term monitoring program that can detect and predict change in U.S. Coral reefs, and their associated habitats and biological communities. completed 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 Biogeography Branch Branch Mapping Manager 301-713-3028 301-713-4384 1305 East West Highway, N/SCI1 Silver Spring MD 20910 tim.battista@noaa.gov 0800 - 1700, Monday to Friday, EST pointOfContact notPlanned CoRIS_Metadata theme NCEI Geoportal Filter Mapping the shallow-water coral reef ecosystems of American Samoa, Guam, and the Northern Marianas 1209 project CRCP Project coral seagrass SAV reef IKONOS IKONOS imagery benthic habitat mangrove remotely sensed imagery/photos theme none Map Images > Ikonos theme CoRIS Discovery Thesaurus EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef monitoring and assessment > Mapping > Habitat mapping EARTH SCIENCE > Biosphere > Zoology > Corals > Reef monitoring and assessment > Remote sensing > Satellite (digital scans) > IKONOS theme CoRIS Theme Thesaurus American Samoa place None COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > American Samoa > American Samoa > Tutuila Island (14S170W0016) OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > American Samoa > Tutuila Island (14S170W0016) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > American Samoa > American Samoa > Rose Atoll (14S168W0001) OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > American Samoa > Rose Atoll (14S168W0001) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > American Samoa > American Samoa > Swains Atoll (11S171W0001) OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > American Samoa > Swains Atoll (11S171W0001) COUNTRY/TERRITORY > United States of America > American Samoa > American Samoa > Manu'a Islands (14S170W0038) OCEAN BASIN > Pacific Ocean > American Samoa > Manu'a Islands (14S170W0038) place CoRIS Place Thesaurus These data were prepared by an agency of the United States Government.
