Metadata details

pcm_southern_sat

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).

    Description

    Satellite image map of the Southern Prince Charles Mountains (PCM's), Antarctica (SS40-42B). This map was produced for the Australian Antarctic Division by AUSLIG (now Geoscience Australia) Commercial, in Australia, in 1993. The map is at a scale of 1:500 000, and was produced from eleven Landsat TM scenes. It is projected on a Lambert Conic Conformal (LCC) projection, and shows glaciers/ice shelves. The map has only geographical co-ordinates.

    Data source: Eleven Landsat TM scenes (124-111, 124-112, 124-113, 124-114, 127-113, 128-111, 128-112, 129-111, 131-111, 131-113), acquired 22 March 1989, 22 March 1989, 22 March 1989, 22 March 1989, 8 March 1988, 18 March 1989, 18 March 1989, 6 March 1988, 16 January 1991, 18 November 1989 respectively.

    Projection: Lambert Conformal Conic, standard parallels 72 degrees 40 minutes, and 75 degrees, 20 minutes.

    Co-ordinates: Geographical.

    Magnetic Variation: Magnetic declination 69.5 degrees. Magnetic north is correct for September 1992 and moves westerly by about 0.1 degrees each year. True north and magnetic north are shown diagramatically for a position at the centre of the map.

    Nomenclature: Names have been approved by the Antarctic Names Committee of Australia.
