Orthorectified Coastal Imagery Tiles for Puerto Rico 2011

0.35-meter ground sample distance imagery tiles cover Mayaquez, Tallaboa, and Yabucoa in Puerto Rico. NOAA's Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative produced these true color RGB GeoTIFF files from imagery acquired on March 25 and April 4, 2011.

Use Cases

• Analyze shoreline changes using the 0.35-meter resolution orthorectified tiles.
• Map coastal habitats by classifying features in the true color RGB imagery.
• Assess infrastructure near the coast by interpreting the high-resolution orthoimagery.
• Create baseline maps for environmental monitoring using the FGDC metadata.

Strengths

• High-resolution imagery with a ground sample distance of 0.35 meters per pixel.
• Data includes ancillary files: browse graphics, history files, and FGDC metadata.

Limitations

• Limited temporal coverage from two specific days in March and April 2011.
• Geographic scope is restricted to three specific areas in Puerto Rico.
