  Description:
    Abstract: Post Ike Photography. The images were acquired from a nominal altitude of 7,500 feet above ground level (AGL), using an Applanix Digital Sensor System (DSS). Single images were then combined to produce a seamless mosaic.
    Purpose:
      This imagery was acquired by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division to support NOAA national security and emergency response
      requirements. 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: In an effort to acquire imagery in a timely manner after the landfall of the hurricane, clouds may be present in the imagery. The ground sample distance (GSD) for each pixel is 0.35 m.
