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.

USCGS POLAR SEA, PINE ISLAND EXPEDITION

26 February-06 March, 1992
Engineers: Jon C. Campbell, Frank J. Kenny, and Gordon H. Shupe
GPS survey to establish mapping control stations and to occupy selected existing USGS momumented control stations. Data has not been differentially post-process to obtain precise coordinates.

The relative strength of position value shown on the Control Points Coordinates list for each quadrangle is not an indicator of the accuracy. It is a number assigned by the USGS based on the number of checks obtained for that survey point.

As an example, an occupied point with several connections to the surrounding network is a 1 (highest reliability). Whereas, a point positioned by two rays intersecting has no check and is assigned a value of 3 (lowest reliability).

(1). Indicates a checked occupied station.

(2). Intersected with 3 or more directions.

(3). Intersected station with no checks - uncertain position - use with caution.

The Pine Island Bay Expedition GPS surveys were established to provide control for mapping using aerial photography. The coordinates provided are pseudorange point position with an accuracy of +/- 100 meters.
