Metadata details

robinson_spot_20m

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 (20 metre resolution) data were mapped from the following scences:

    - SPOT Scene 245 - 490 15 March 1988
    - SPOT Scene 246 - 490 13 March 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 +/- 100 metres. The vertical mapping accuracy was +/- 50 metres.

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