  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Because offset distance provided without direction, georeferenced to the geographic center of the shore of the city of Oriximiná, along Rio Trombetas, ensuring that the uncertainty radius encompasses the 5 km. offset mentioned in the locality description. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the city of Oriximiná in município Oriximiná, Pará. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the shore of Oriximiná, along Rio Trombetas. Because the city of Oriximiná does not have defined spatial boundaries, used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure from the selected coordinates to the geographic center of the shore of the nearest named place along Rio Trombetas (same side of the river), the city of Óbidos (technically located on Rio Amazonas, located at the approximate confluence of Rio Trombetas and Rio Amazonas); halved this distance to approximate the linear extent of the shoreline of the city of Oriximiná. To find the 5 km. offset: input coordinates, linear extent (20766.95 m.), measurement error (.01 m.), offset distance (5000 m.), and distance precision (100 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Offset only, no direction).
