Orthorectified image from aerial photograph of wetland T6 in the Cottonwood Lake Study Area, Stutsman County, North Dakota. This image is part of a collection of photographs of the study area acquired during July and early August from 1975 to 2015.
Aerial photographs of wetlands in the Cottonwood Lake Study Area were collected in order to facilitate a better understanding of the influence of natural climate variability on the vegetation of prairie wetland ecosystems.
These aerial photographs are part of the Missouri Coteau Wetland Ecosystem Observatory database that is a collection of abiotic and biotic data documenting biotic and abiotic responses to long-term climate variability in the Prairie Pothole Region of the U.S. The Prairie Pothole Region has a naturally dynamic climate that is characterized by extended wet and dry periods, and its wetlands have spatially variable hydrologic and biotic traits. The Cottonwood Lake Study Area in Stutsman County, North Dakota contains wetlands representative of multiple positions along a hydrologic continuum, from groundwater recharge to discharge. The extensive history of data collection in the Cottonwood Lake Study Area provides a unique opportunity to assess the impact of climate variability on ecosystem condition and productivity. The Cottonwood Lake Study Area is part of a complex of Waterfowl Production Areas in Stutsman County, North Dakota owned and managed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Data integrity can be verified using authentication information herein. The distributor makes no claims as to the suitability of these data for other purposes than those described herein.
Users should not use these data for critical applications without a full awareness of its limitations. Users should be aware that temporal changes may have occurred since this data set was collected and that some parts of these data may no longer represent actual ground conditions. Users should also be aware that comparison with other data sets for the same area that were generated from other time periods may be inaccurate due to inconsistencies resulting from changes in mapping conventions, data collection, and computer processing methods over time. The distributor shall not be liable for improper or incorrect use of these data, based on the description of appropriate/inappropriate uses described in this metadata document. Acknowledgment of the U.S. Geological Survey Northern Prairie Wildlife Research Center as a data source would be appreciated in products developed from these data, and such acknowledgment as is standard for citation and legal practices for data source is expected by users of this data set.

Photographs were taken with Canon PowerShot G5 (5 megapixel) digital camera with a 28.8 mm Canon lens.
Extent of image geography was inspected to ensure consistency with identification of wetlands described in metadata. Inspection of the spectral band histograms revealed all pixels have valid numeric values.
Vertical photography was acquired through the belly hole of a Cessna 172 aircraft between 8:30 and 9:30 CST (9:30-10:30 CDT) when sun elevation angles were between 30 and 45 degrees. Flights were only conducted on days when cloud cover was expected to be less than 10% and winds less than 15 mph. Altitudes varied between 1000 and 5500 feet (305 and 1676 m) above ground level depending on size of the wetland being photographed.
Aerial photographs were georeferenced using on-the-ground control points and TNTmips GIS and image processing software. Control points consisted of 71 cm diameter metal circles (painted white) positioned over all groundwater wells at the site and at other locations to provide broad coverage across the site. Other control points (e.g., large rocks, woody vegetation) were also used to ensure a minimum of 6 control points for each image. The geographic locations of control points were determined using a Trimble GPS receiver.
Aerial photographs on reversal film transparent slides were scanned and saved as digital images.
