  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Unable to find the precise location of the region "esquerda" (left) of the airport; instead, georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the Oyapock Airfield (synonymous with Oiapoque Airport), ensuring that the uncertainty radius encompassed the entire forested area surrounding the airport. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the Oyapock airport. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the airstrip of the airport. Because the forested area surrounding the airport does not have defined spatial boundaries, used the Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the nearest named place, the geographic center of Taparabu, then halving this distance. Input coordinates, linear extent (3544.47 m), and measurement error (.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
