  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Referred to Wikimapia.org for locality information for Morro Açu (http://wikimapia.org/6542177/pt/Morro-do-Açu-2184-m, accessed: 12/1/2015). Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the peak (approx. elevation 2170 m) of Morro do Açu (or Assu), of the Serra dos Org?os mountain range, in Mun. Guapimirim, Rio de Janeiro. Used the reference material and Google Maps – Earth and Terrain Views to locate Morro do Açu. Used the Google Maps – What's Here Tool to find the approximate geographic center of the peak of the mountain, at elevation 2170 m. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of 2100 m elevation contour line of the mountain. Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (116.14 m), and measurement error (5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Named Place: Bounded Area).
