Digital aerial imagery for Washington state was collected by Hexagon as part of the 2020 NAIP Imaging Program. Imagery was collected between August 3, 2020 and September 6, 2020 using Leica ADS100 digital camera systems. The project was flown at heights ranging from 8,000 ft msl to 15,500 ft msl resulting in a nominal GSD of 20cm. Four band images were collected to support both 3-band natural color (RGB) and false color infrared (FCIR) orthoimage products. Aerotriangulation and orthorectification were done with the Leica Xpro software package, version 6.4 and ortho mosaics were created with Inpho Orthovista 8.0. 4-band RGBN 8-bit Ortho images were created in a DOQQ tiling scheme. Products are in the UTM map projection, NAD83 (2011) datum, in meters.

Earth Data Analysis Center (EDAC) at The University of New Mexico (UNM) develops, manages, and enhances the New Mexico Resource Geographic Information System (RGIS) Program and Clearinghouse. Nationally, NM RGIS is among the largest of state-based programs for digital geospatial data and information and continues to add to its data offerings, services, and technology. The RGIS Program mission is to develop and expand geographic information and use of GIS technology, creating a comprehensive GIS resource for state and local governments, educational institutions, nonprofit organizations, and private businesses; to promote geospatial information and GIS technology as primary analytical tools for decision makers and researchers; and to provide a central Clearinghouse to avoid duplication and improve information transfer efficiency. As a repository for digital geospatial data acquired from local and national public agencies and data created expressly for RGIS, the clearinghouse serves as a major hub in New Mexico’s network for inter-agency and intergovernmental coordination, data sharing, information transfer, and electronic communication. Data sets available for download include political and administrative boundaries, place names and locations, census data (current and historical), 30 years of digital orthophotography, 80 years of historic aerial photography, satellite imagery, elevation data, transportation data, wildfire boundaries and natural resource data.

ERMA Gulf Response, powered by Environmental Response Management Application (ERMA), is a web-based Geographic Information System (GIS) tool designed to assist both emergency responders and environmental resource managers who deal with incidents that may adversely impact the environment. This application is currently assisting with response operations for the Deepwater Horizon spill and data regarding this incident is displayed here and updated daily. ERMA is also assisting in resource management decisions in support of Natural Resource Damage Assessment.

With the Food, Conservation, and Energy Act of 2008 (the 2008 Farm Bill), Congress tasked states and territories to craft assessments of the forests within their boundaries and develop strategies to address threats and forest management opportunities. Now known as Forest Action Plans, these assessments and strategies provide an analysis of forest conditions and trends in the state and delineate priority forest landscape areas. They offer long-term plans for investing state, federal, and other resources where they can be most effective in achieving national conservation goals by addressing the State and Private Forestry (SPF) national priorities and objectives: 1) Conserve working forest lands, 2) Protect forests from harm, and 3) Enhance public benefits from trees and forests. Administered by the US Forest Service and implemented by State forestry agencies, the SPF Forest Stewardship Program encourages private forest landowners to manage their lands using professionally prepared Forest Stewardship plans. Participation in the Forest Stewardship Program requires that states and territories submit a raster dataset of priority areas specific to the Program - aligned with priority landscapes identified in Forest Action Plans - called Forest Stewardship Program Federal Investment Areas, where they will focus their Program delivery efforts. Program performance measures include acres covered by active Forest Stewardship plans that are within Forest Stewardship Priority Areas.

This is a swipe map showing before and after the damage. Use the slider to swipe back and forth. The imagery posted on this site is of the Tornado Damage from 20150409. The aerial photography missions were conducted by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division. The images were acquired from a nominal altitude of 5000 feet, using a Trimble Digital Sensor System (DSS).Purpose: This imagery was acquired by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division to support NOAA national security and emergency response requirements. This rapid response product was generated for use by emergency managers for visual analysis of damage in the area. It is not intended for mapping, charting or navigation. In addition, it will be used for ongoing research efforts for testing and developing standards for airborne digital imagery.Supplemental Information: The ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 25 cm. Image file size is between 1 MB and 10 MB. In an effort to acquire imagery in a timely manner after the event, clouds may be present in the imagery. Be advised that the Bounding Coordinates reflect the extents of the images acquired for this event and do not imply full image coverage of the area.

The 2018 Kilauea volcanic eruption in Hawaii has opened up dozens of lava vents and produced extensive lava flows.  This Web Map contains multiple renderings from a Maxar WorldView-3 collect on May 19, 2018.  Leveraging the Near Infrared and Short Wave Infrared wavelengths captured by WorldView-3 can not only help to define the lava flow extents but also identify hot spots.  The infrared imagery also helps to peer through smoke that may otherwise occlude the ground.Renderings Included:Near Infrared (8,7,6) at 1.2m spatial resolutionSWIR (S6,S3,S1)* at 7.5m spatial resolutionNatural Color (5,3,2) at 1.2m spatial resolution*There are multiple sensors on board WorldView-3.  All the bands in the SWIR layer here are in the SWIR spectrum.  There are a total of 8 different SWIR (S)bands available.

This series of products from MODIS represents the only daily global composites available and is suitable for use at global and regional levels. This True Color band composition (Bands 1 4 3 | Red, Green, Blue) most accurately shows how we see the earth’s surface with our own eyes. It is a natural looking image that is useful for land surface, oceanic and atmospheric analysis. This map shows the 250 meter corrected reflectance product from both satellites that carry a MODIS, Aqua and Terra. Although the resolution is coarser than other satellites, this allows for a global collection of imagery on a daily basis, which is made available in near real-time. In contrast, Landsat needs 16 days to collect a global composite. Besides the maximum resolution difference, the surface and corrected reflectance products also differ in the algorithm used for atmospheric correction.NASA Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS)This image layer provides access to a subset of the NASA Global Imagery Browse Services (GIBS), which are a set of standard services to deliver global, full-resolution satellite imagery. The GIBS goal is to enable interactive exploration of NASA's Earth imagery for a broad range of users. The purpose of this image layer, and the other GIBS image services hosted by Esri, is to enable convenient access to this beautiful and useful satellite imagery for users of ArcGIS. The source data used by this image layer is a finished image; it is not recommended for quantitative analysis.Several full resolution, global imagery products are built and served by GIBS in near real-time (usually within 3.5 hours of observation). These products are built from NASA Earth Observing System satellites data courtesy of LANCE data providers and other sources. The MODIS instrument aboard Terra and Aqua satellites, the AIRS instrument aboard Aqua, and the OMI instrument aboard Aura are used as sources. Several of the MODIS global products are made available on this Esri hosted service.This image layer hosted by Esri provides direct access to one of the GIBS image products. The Esri servers do not store any of this data itself. Instead, for each received data request, multiple image tiles are retrieved from GIBS, which are then processed and assembled into the proper image for the response. This processing takes place on-the-fly, for each and every request. This ensures that any update to the GIBS data is immediately available in the Esri mosaic service.Note on Time: The image service supporting this map is time enabled, but time has been disabled on this image layer so that the most recent imagery displays by default. If you would like to view imagery over time, you can update the layer properties to enable time animation and configure time settings. The results can be saved in a web map to use later or share with others.

During late spring 2011, two small airplanes flew dozens of sorties over key transportation corridors bisecting Alaska. Seated in the back of each plane was a technician, surely with an iron-lined stomach and extraordinary sense of equilibrium, enduring the pitching, rolling and yawing while the pilot maintained a nearly constant altitude above terrain that is anything but constant. Like bombardiers dropping payloads on air-raid targets, the technicians released millions of laser pulses from the planes' bellies, pelting the ground and capturing the pulses' echoes. The entire mission involved a relatively new technology called lidar. It was part of a multiagency effort to understand, map and put into the public realm the precise landscape a North Slope natural gas pipeline would cross. The data gathered trillions of bytes of data is now getting posted on a state of Alaska website.And state geologists and geophysicists who commissioned the lidar research their first foray into the technology are now getting an extraordinary look at the Earth's surface in a swath of Alaska never before detailed in such sharp relief.

The National Agriculture Imagery Program (NAIP) acquires aerial imagery during the agricultural growing seasons in the continental U.S. A primary goal of the NAIP program is to make digital ortho photography available to governmental agencies and the public within a year of acquisition. This four-band imagery was collected in 2011, and was originally published in October of 2011 . It was made available from the West Virginia GIS Tech Center in April of 2012. All data was delivered with 1-meter Ground Sample Distance (GSD). The imagery is rectified to a horizontal accuracy of within +/- 5 meters of reference digital ortho quarter quads from the National Digital Ortho Program. The dataset can be downloaded by digital orthophoto quarter quads (DOQQ). The data is compressed into MrSid format, with a compression ratio of 10:1 . Files range from 13 to 16 MB. MrSid format images are 3 band and, as a result a separate dataset for color infrared and natural color was created. Uncompressed 4 band .tif files are available as well, but due to the size (~320 GB) of this dataset, interested parties will need to provide a hard drive to the WVGISTC. There is a small fee associated with this service. Contact Frank Lafone for more information.
