  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Because this site included the name "Mucuri" in both the municipality and precise location fields, interpreted this locality as "areas surrounding the city of Mucuri". Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the city of Mucuri, in Mun. Mucuri, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Mucuri. Using Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs, found coordinates for the approximate geographic center of the city. Because the center of the nearest named place, the city of Nova Viçosa, is farther from the center of Mucuri than the extent of Mucuri itself (Case A), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the center of nearest named place, the city of Nova Viçosa, then halving this extent. Input coordinates, linear extent (13529.9 m), and measurement error (0.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Near a named place - Case A).
