<br />Remote Sensing Mission 2004 <br />(Proposed Elements for this May) <br /> <br />Conventional Analol! CIR - obtain film images of entire ecosystem and <br />have them scanned to obtain digital data, with additional orthorectification <br />being obtained where mapping is required for long-term monitoring, such as <br />terrestrial vegetation protocols <br /> <br />Very Hil!h Resolution LiDAR - implement use of previously evaluated <br />protocol to provide topographic data for Fine-Sediment Sand Storage change <br />detection between Lees Ferry & Phantom Ranch <br /> <br />Test "CHARTS" - using funds from USGS Cartography, determine whether <br />water-penetrating (green) LiDAR can be used to map channel geometry from <br />Lees Ferry to Phantom (if successful, this could replace current channel <br />mapping protocols using multi-beam hydro acoustics deployed from boats) <br /> <br />~.~.~G~ ..y , -1:" - <br /> <br />Remote Sensing Mission 2004 <br />(Overflight Requirements) <br /> <br />Conventional Analol! CIR - flown system-wide on "fixed-wing" aircraft at <br />an altitude of8,500 ft such that constant 8,000 cfs stage is captured from the <br />Dam to Phantom Ranch (request 5 days of stable flows from Glen Canyon <br />Dam) <br /> <br />Very Hil!h Resolution LiDAR - flown from "helicopter" between Lees <br />Ferry and Phantom at an altitude 0000 ft above ground, flight windows each <br />day may be only 2-3 hours over each of the 5 days in which flows are held <br />constant (change-detection protocol tied to constant, low flows) <br /> <br />Test "CHARTS" - flown from helicopter at 900 ft between Lees Ferry and <br />Phantom Ranch during one of the constant-flow days (test conditions are <br />optimized by having constant, low flows that promote settling of sediment) <br /> <br /> <br />2 <br /> <br />(\23811 <br />
