Identification_Information: Citation: Citation_Information: Originator: U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division National Wetlands Research Center Publication_Date: 2001 Title: Coastal Louisiana Scanned Aerial Photography Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: Raster Digital Data Description: Abstract: This data set consists of scanned color infrared aerial photography of coastal Louisiana for the year 2001. Approximately 3000 9x9 and 9x18 frames were originally scanned at 600 dpi and resampled at 300 dpi and then converted into a jpeg format. Coverage of the coastal Louisiana does not include every scanned frame. Purpose: To provide imagery for analysis and assessment for research need's in coastal Louisiana.

Logical_Consistency_Report: Every frame along the flight lines was scanned and converted into a jpeg file. Not every frame is included in the distribution of the imagery. Completeness_Report: The quality of the aerial photography does not meet NWRC standard requirements. Problems with the camera, such as vacuum leaks, produced photos with a soft focus.
