  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Georeferenced to the shore of Rio Solimões "below," or downstream from, the city of Alvarães. Treated this location as an offset without distance provided (direction = downstream). Used the Google Maps - Earth View to locate the city of Alvarães, along Rio Solimões in Mun. Alvarães, Amazonas. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the approximate geographic center of the shore of Alvarães and the approximate geographic center of the shore of the nearest named place downstream from Alvarães, the city of Tefé, then halved this distance to find the midpoint of this line. Chose a point along the shore of Rio Solimões nearest to the midpoint of this line; used Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the midpoint of Rio Solimões between the two cities. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of this segment of river. Input coordinates, linear extent (11070.0 m), and measurement error (2.5 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius (according to Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: Direction only, no distance).
