  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Barra da Tijuca in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; taking into account the added uncertainty of the word "prox." (proximo, or near) stated in the locality description. . Used Google Maps - Map and Earth Views to locate the city of Barra da Tijuca. Used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the city. Because the center of the nearest named place, the city of Jacarepaguá, is closer to the center of Barra da Tijuca than the linaer extent of Barra da Tijuca itself (due to the stretched shape east-west of Barra da Tijuca), followed Case B of the Near a Named Place method of the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the city of Barra da Tijuca (spatial extent provided by Google Maps). Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (8790.0 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Near a Named Place).
