Abstract
The Satellite View with Shaded Relief of Hawaii map layer is a 100-meter resolution simulated natural-color image of Hawaii, with relief shading added to accentuate terrain features. Vegetation is generally green, with forests in darker green and grasslands or shrublands in lighter green. Areas of high reflectance, including urban areas, rock, and dry bare soil, are shown in shades of tan and pink. Very bright areas, such as snow and ice, are light blue. The image was produced by combining a mosaic of Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) imagery from the Landsat 4 and Landsat 5 satellites with shaded relief generated from 100-meter elevation data extracted from the National Elevation Dataset (NED). This layer is part of the 1997-2014 edition National Atlas of the United States.
Purpose
The 100-meter resolution satellite view with shaded relief data were developed to portray the ground cover of the United States at 1:1,000,000 scale. The image is intended for visual purposes only. The original Landsat Thematic Mapper imagery data and NED elevation data should be used for conducting analysis. No responsibility is assumed by the National Atlas of the United States in the use of these data.
Supplemental Information
The 100-meter resolution satellite view mosaics and the grayscale shaded relief data that were combined to create this data set are also distributed separately by the National Atlas. Development and characteristics of those data sets is described in their respective metadata. An overview of the Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) sensor, and links to more detailed information on Landsat can be found at https://lta.cr.usgs.gov/TM. More information on the Landsat program can be found in the USGS Fact Sheet, Landsat: A Global Land-Imaging Mission, http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2012/3072/. More information on NED can be found at http://ned.usgs.gov. Included with the GeoTIFF are an information file (.xml), an auxiliary information file (.aux.xml), an image overview file (.ovr), a .tfw file (more information included below), and a .prj file (more information included below.) The contents of the associated world file (.tfw) are: 100.0 0.0 0.0 -100.0 -402950.0 2164950.0 The projection (.prj) file contains the following information: PROJCS["Albers_NAD83_ Hawaii ", GEOGCS["GCS_North_American_1983", DATUM["D_North_American_1983", SPHEROID["GRS_1980",6378137.0,298.257222101]], PRIMEM["Greenwich",0.0], UNIT["Degree",0.0174532925199433]], PROJECTION["Albers"], PARAMETER["False_Easting",0.0], PARAMETER["False_Northing",0.0], PARAMETER["Central_Meridian",-157.0], PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_1",8.0], PARAMETER["Standard_Parallel_2",18.0], PARAMETER["Latitude_Of_Origin",3.0], UNIT["Meter",1.0]] Data set extent in meters (Albers Equal-Area Conic projection) North 2165000 West -403000 East 303000 South 1723000 There are no NULL or NODATA values in the GeoTIFF. Instead, all elevation values in oceans have been set to zero as part of the masking process.
