- Abstract Wilson and Company collected and processed multi-spectral (red, green, blue,
near-infrared) digital aerial imagery of the Las Conchas Fire that burned in the
Santa Fe National Forest in the Jemez Mountains of central New Mexico in the summer
of 2011. The Area of Interest (AOI) is 632,000 acres and is larger than the actual
burn acreage of approximately 150,000 acres that lies within the AOI. Aerial imagery
was collected with a frame - based Z/I Digital Mapping Camera at an average of
elevation of 4,500 feet above ground; generating an average ground sample distance
(gsd) of 0.45 feet. This aerial imagery will be used to create natural color and
false color infrared digital orthophotos of the AOI at a re-sampled gsd of .3
meters. The imagery will support the Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response
(BAER) program that addresses landscape damage due to the fire, with the goal of
protecting life, property, water quality, and deteriorated ecosystems from further
damage now that the fire is out. While many wildfires cause little damage to the
land and pose few threats to fish, wildlife and people downstream, the fires of 2011
has in this case created situations that require special efforts to prevent further
problems after the fire. Loss of vegetation exposes soil to erosion; runoff may
increase and cause flooding, sediments may move downstream and damage houses or fill
reservoirs, and put endangered species and community water supplies at risk. The
imagery will support the Forest Service Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER)
program that addresses these situations with the goal of protecting life, property,
water quality, and deteriorated ecosystems from further damage after the fire is
out. In addition, other federal, tribal, state, and local governments will be
participating in similar program along with Universities in the region.
- Purpose This imagery was acquired post fire to support the Forest Service Burned Area
Emergency Response (BAER) program.
- Supplemental Information The Las Conchas Post Fire data are available in three formats. These metadata
apply to all three. The GeoTIFFs are uncompressed four-band files, and due to file
size limitations, are not available for downloading from the Resource Geographic
Information System Program (RGIS) website. Therefore, they are available only
through the custom order process described in the Distribution section of these
metadata. The MrSid files have been created from the GeoTIFFs in both CIR and RGB
formats. The files are a 1:15 compression of the GeoTIFF files. The compression
creates a smaller file size that can be downloaded easily from the RGIS website and
are readily available. The raw imagery files are also available via the custom
ordering process.

Data Quality Information
- Attribute Accuracy Report
-
- Report This aerial photography was designed to support digital orthophotos with a
horizontal accuracy of +/- 6 meters RMSE.
- Quantitative Attribute Accuracy Assessment
-
- Attribute Accuracy Value +/- 6 meters
- Attribute Accuracy Explanation This aerial photography was designed to support digital orthophotos with a
horizontal accuracy of +/- 6 meters RMSE.
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Report
-
- Report This aerial photography was designed to support digital orthophotos with a
horizontal accuracy of +/- 6 meters RMSE.
- Quantitative Horizontal Positional Accuracy Assessment
-
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Value 0
- Horizontal Positional Accuracy Explanation This source imagery is geopositioned using the external orientation
information from the acquisition. This imagery should be used for reference
only, and not for accurate mensuration.
- Vertical Positional Accuracy Report
-
- Report This aerial photography was designed for orthophotos (which only have a
horizontal accuracy). This photography could be used to generate a DTM that
would support 5' contours (ASPRS class 2) with proper ground control.
- Quantitative Vertical Positional Accuracy Assessment
-
- Vertical Positional Accuracy Value 0
- Vertical Positional Accuracy Explanation This raw imagery delivery contains no vertical component.
- Logical Consistency Report The elevation and imagery products generated during this project were cross-checked
as a complete data set as well as being subjected to independent QA/QC.
- Completeness Report This is the source imagery for orthophoto development. Images are visually
inspected for completeness to ensure that no gaps or image misplacements exist within
and between adjacent images. Source imagery is cloud free.
