WISE/ISODYN Location Data

Positioning for the WISE/ISODYN survey uses kinematic differential GPS. Processing was carried out using GPSurvey® software. Differential positioning used fixed base stations at each of the operational camps (Jordan et al., 2007). Positions are calculated for the phase centre of the aircraft antenna. All positions (Lat, lon and height) are referred to the WGS1984 ellipsoid.

Database channels are described in the table below.

Projected coordinates (x and y) are in Lambert conic conformal with two standard parallels defined as follows:
Latitude of false origin:-74.018118
Longitude of false origin:179
Latitude of 1st standard parallel-72.66666666667
Latitude of 2nd standard parallel-75.33333333333
False easting1444000
False northing1123000
