  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Rio Solimões does not run nearby city of Careiro but rather by the city of Careiro da Várzea, which is very nearby to Careiro. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of the shoreline of the city of Careiro da Várzea in Careiro da Várzea (município), Amazonas. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located the shoreline of the city of Careiro da Várzea. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the shoreline of Careiro da Várzea, along the Rio Solimões. Used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to find linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Rio Solimões within município Careiro da Várzea. Input coordinates, linear extent (39268.8 m.), and measurement error (.1 m.) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius. Site is approximately 10 km south southeast of Manaus, agreeing with the locality description.
