DGPS sample point locations.

Description: This series of web pages presents site information for 63 Ground Control Points (GCP's) measured near Barrow, Alaska, during the summer of 2001 using Differential GPS. The GCP's were measured on the corners of buildings, ends of snowfences, base of telephone poles, and other features visible on small- to large-scale imagery. They are concentrated generally within 2 km of the Chukchi coast (coinciding with extent of the year 2000 air photos). The GCP's will help researchers and other scientists working in the area to establish precise geographic or UTM coordinates for field sites, and to assist with georectification of aerial photography and satellite imagery.
