TMA FLIGHT LINE Map and Control Point Locations
FLIGHT LINE Information - flight lines indicated by dark lines, direction
of flight indicated by arrowheads at end of each FLIGHT LINE, TMA # (photo
flight #) indicated by number on FLIGHT LINE. Values in parenthesis on a
FLIGHT LINE indicates range of photos in a FLIGHT LINE.
Control Photos - number at small arrow on FLIGHT LINE indicates frame
#, arrow indicates direction of view (R or L indicates right or left view,
frame # and V in parenthesis indicates vertical view), click on frame #
to display browse photo, thumbnail versions of control photos appear below.
Control Points - control point location indicated by red square with
station name adjacent, click on red square to go to individual control folder.

USGS/BAS LANDSAT GEOCEIVER PROJECT
1975-76 Season
Engineers: Karl W. Gatson and James W. Schoonmaker, Jr.
Intersected peak positions determined by terrestrial surveys
employing Wild T-2 theodolite for angular measurements and Electro-tapes
for distance measurements from positions developed by geoceiver (Doppler)
observations.
Elevations based on sea level using the Goddard Earth Model
(GEM) 10B.
BRITISH ANTARCTIC SURVEY
THE ANTARCTIC PENINSULA
Terrestrial survey network employing theodolite for angular
measurements and Tellurometer for distance measurements.

Horizontal Datum - Position based on WGS 72.
Vertical Datum - Geodetic heights corrected to the geoid using NASA
GEM 10B.
* A - Astronomical
B- Beaconed - Signal/Cairn & monumented
U - Unbeaconed - Occupied, monumented
O - Occupied, unmonumented
I - Intersected
# Unchecked elevation
** These stations are unidentifiable
+ Position Reliability
1. Established by Doppler Satellite measurenents, or a checked occupied
station
2. Position established by side shot from maine line
3. Intersected with three or more directions
4. Intersected station, no checks - poor position
++Elevation Reliability
1. Elevation measured by Doppler Satellite methods and occupied stations
with checked reciprocal vertical angle elevations
2. Elevation established by side shots from main line
3. Intersected station wioth elevation checks from several vertical
angles
4. Intersected station with elevation checks from two or more vertical
angles
5. Intersected station with no check evevation - very poor elevation
The USGS/BAS Landsat Projects survey networks were established to provide
control for mapping using aerial photographs and satellite imagery.
The BAS Antarctic Peninsula network horizontal positions, connected
to Geoceiver observations with often limited numbers of passes, was adjusted
by John Knight in 1988. The standard horizontal error ranges from 9 to 35
meters.
Elevation datum was established, using the WGS72 reference ellipsoid.
