2010 UMRS Color Infrared Aerial Photo Mosaic - Mississippi River, Pool 4 South

The Upper Mississippi River Restoration-Environmental Management Program (UMRR-EMP) partnered with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Region 3 to collect 2010 digital color infrared (CIR) aerial photography of Pools 1-13, Upper Mississippi River and Pools Alton–Marseilles, Illinois River at 8”/pixel and 16”/pixel respectively using a mapping-grade Applanix DSS439 digital aerial camera. The photography shall be at a minimum accuracy of 5-10 meters and allow for the development of orthorectified photo mosaics by U.S. Geological Survey – Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center (USGS-UMESC) for all or portions of the coverage area. The flights occurred during times of peak vegetation biomass, typically from late August through early September. The primary use of this photography is for the development of Land Cover / Land Use (LCU) databases of the UMRS by the USGS-UMESC. The photography and LCU databases are used in support of all stages of HREP project development and monitoring. In addition, the photography and maps are used for research and monitoring efforts conducted by the LTRM component in support of UMRR-EMP. The imagery is served over the internet as orthorectified pool mosaics by USGS-UMESC.

密西西比河上游修复-环境管理计划（Upper Mississippi River Restoration-Environmental Management Program, UMRR-EMP）与美国鱼类及野生动物管理局（U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, USFWS）第三大区合作，使用测绘级Applanix DSS439数字航空相机，以8英寸/像素和16英寸/像素的分辨率分别采集了密西西比河上游1-13号渠段及伊利诺伊河奥尔顿-马赛尔斯渠段2010年度的数字彩色红外（color infrared, CIR）航空摄影数据。该批数据的最低精度为5-10米，可支持美国地质调查局-上中西部环境科学中心（U.S. Geological Survey – Upper Midwest Environmental Sciences Center, USGS-UMESC）针对全部或部分覆盖区域制作正射校正影像镶嵌图。飞行作业均安排在植被生物量峰值期开展，通常为8月下旬至9月上旬。本批航空摄影数据的核心用途为支撑美国地质调查局-上中西部环境科学中心构建密西西比河上游水系（Upper Mississippi River System, UMRS）的土地覆盖/土地利用（Land Cover / Land Use, LCU）数据库。该航空摄影数据与土地覆盖/土地利用数据库可服务于HREP项目全流程的开发与监测工作。此外，该航空摄影数据及配套地图可用于LTRM相关团队为支持密西西比河上游修复-环境管理计划所开展的研究与监测工作。美国地质调查局-上中西部环境科学中心通过互联网提供该影像的正射校正渠段镶嵌图服务。
