  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Assumed Rio Tarumãzinho to by synonymous with Igarapé Tarumãzinho; georeferenced to geographic center of "Igarapé Tarumãzinho." Referred to "Traveling Luck" website (http://travelingluck.com/South+America/Brazil/Amazonas/_3754249_Igarap%C3%A9+Tarum%C3%A3zinho.html) for location information for Igarapé Tarumãzinho. Igarapé Tarumãzinho branches off of Rio Tarumã, a tributary of Rio Negro. Using Google Maps, located Igarapé Tarumãzinho in Manaus, Amazonas. Used measurement tool to measure a straight line from the beginning of the stream (where it branches off of Rio Tarumã) to the end of this stream, then halved this distance to approximate the midpoint of the stream. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the midpoint. Used measurement tool (Google Maps) again to find linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the stream. Input coordinates, linear extent (2557.67 m.), and measurement error (.01 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
