Resource Abstract:
- description: This data set consists of photo centers of raw aerial images representing multi-spectral (red, green, blue, near-infrared)
digital aerial imagery of the Las Conchas Fire that burned in the Santa Fe National Forest in the Jemez Mountains of central
New Mexico in the summer of 2011. The Area of Interest (AOI) is 632,000 acres and is larger than the actual burn acreage of
approximately 150,000 acres that lies within the AOI. Aerial imagery was collected with a frame - based Z/I Digital Mapping
Camera at an average elevation of 4,500 feet above ground; generating an average ground sample distance (gsd) of 0.45 feet.
The aerial imagery will be used to create natural color and false color infrared digital orthophotos of the AOI at a re-sampled
gsd of 0.5 foot. The imagery will support the Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) program that addresses
landscape damage due to the fire, with the goal of protecting life, property, water quality, and deteriorated ecosystems from
further damage now that the fire is out. Airborne GPS procedures were used to determine the camera station coordinates of
each exposure. The nearest CORS base station was used to post process these coordinates with Applanix software into the project
datum of NAD83/NAVD 88, UTM Zone 13, meters.; abstract: This data set consists of photo centers of raw aerial images representing
