Metadata details

framnes_spot_10m

All scientific data collected by the Australian Antarctic program (AAp) are eventually described in the Catalogue of Australian Antarctic and Subantarctic Metadata (CAASM). CAASM can be used to search through AAp data descriptions, and it also provides links to access publicly available datasets, which can either be immediately downloaded or obtained from the Australian Antarctic Data Centre (AADC).

    Quality

    The Spot (10 metre resolution) data were mapped from the following scenes:

    - SPOT Scene 246 - 491 (March 13 1988)
    - SPOT Scene 246 - 491 (March 15 1988)

    All mapping work was captured using a Zeiss P2 analytical stereo plotter and Microstation version 5 on a Universal Transverse Mercator grid.

    The horizontal mapping accuracy was +/- 50 metres. The vertical mapping accuracy was +/- 20 metres.

    The polygon data were edited, cleaned and polygonised using Arc/Info. Maximum fuzzy tolerance for cleaning was 0.01 metres.

    Note: The link to shapefiles available for downloading include data for Holme Bay and Framnes Mountains. Data specifically for this metadata record is labelled in the description as Holme Bay and has a dataset id = 98
