Title: NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) orthorectified mosaic image tiles, Cutts Island to Prouts Neck, Penobscot, and Reversing Falls, Maine, June 2011 (NCEI Accession 0100008)
Abstract: This dataset contains both true color (RGB) and infrared (IR) ortho-rectified mosaic tiles, created as a product from the NOAA Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping (IOCM) initiative. The source imagery was acquired from 20110605 - 20110621. The images were acquired with an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). The original images were acquired at a higher resolution than the final ortho-rectified mosaic. Ortho-rectified mosaic tiles are an ancillary product of NOAA's Coastal Mapping Program (CMP), created through a wider Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping initiative to increase support for multiple uses of the data.

Data for the Cutts Island region are in two subdirectories, the second of which holds RGB and IR imagery for mean lower low water (MLLW, i.e., the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the National Tidal Datum Epoch. For stations with shorter series, comparison of simultaneous observations with a control tide station is made in order to derive the equivalent datum of the National Tidal Datum Epoch). The Penobscot region files are RGB only.

Imagery is in TIFF format with associated browse graphic (JPEG), .omd, .his, and metadata files in Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) format.

The ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 0.50 m.
