A new 30-m spatial resolution global shoreline vector (GSV) was developed from annual composites of 2014 Landsat satellite imagery. The semi-automated classification the imagery accomplished by manual selection training points representing water and non-water classes along entire coastline. Polygon topology applied to GSV, resulting in a characterisation number size islands. Three islands were mapped: continental mainlands (5), greater than 1 km2 (21,818), smaller (318,868). GSV represents...
Hydrothermal plumes associated with nearshore lava flows from Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii were studied on five occasions during 1989–1990 to address the current lack of data direct lava‐seawater interactions. The following enrichments found in sea‐surface hydrothermal above active underwater flows: H 2 , 15,000x ambient seawater concentrations; Mn, 250x; and Si, 20x. Water temperatures reached 46°C. Lower concentrations observed increasing distance shore, Mn linearly related temperature. Unlike...
The World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) has been consistent with the International Terrestrial Reference Frame (ITRF) since 1994. After original release of WGS84 in 1987 by Defense Mapping Agency (since superseded National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, NGA), there have six subsequent realizations frame, designated (G730), (G873), (G1150), (G1674), (G1762), and (G2139). Users often fail to document metadata indicating realization epoch related their data collections. As a result, when...
Abstract Longitude–latitude grids are commonly used for surface analyses and data storage in GIS. For volumetric analyses, three‐dimensional meshes perpendicularly raised above or below the gridded applied. Since defined with geographic coordinates, they not equal area volume due to convergence of meridians radii. This article compiles presents known geodetic considerations relevant formulae needed longitude–latitude grid mesh The effect neglecting these is demonstrated on calculations...
The density of traps for American lobster Homarus americanus was surveyed using aerial photography within a study area off midcoastal Maine, Trap estimated from number trap buoys present. Photographs were taken with 35-mm camera mounted in single-engine plane at an altitude 150 m. Three subareas (inshore Boothbay Harbor, offshore and inshore West Southport) selected surveying buoy on regular basis during 1987–1990. Inshore (within 2 km mainland) densities ranged 167 to 749 traps/km2....
