  • Georeferencing Method

    Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012. Assumed "Cano Tucano" to be synonymous with Rio Tucano. Georeferenced to the approximate geographic center of Rio Tucano within the appropriate altitude range (approximately 125 m) in Mun. Santa Isabel do Rio Negro, Amazonas. Referred to "Fôlha Parima NA-20" [map] for location information for Rio Tucano (Carta do Brasil ao Milionésimo, Fôlha Parima NA-20 [map]. 1:1,000,000. In: Faissol, Speridião et. al. Carta Internacional do Mundo ao Milionésimo. 2nd edition. Rio de Janeiro: Instituto brasileiro de geografia e estatistica, 1972. p. 3.). Used the reference map and Google Maps – Earth and Terrain View to locate Rio Tucano within the appropriate altitude range. Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool to measure a straight line between the start and end of the segment of Rio Tucano within the specified altitude range, then halved this distance to find the midpoint of the line. Chose a point along Rio Tucano nearest to the midpoint of the line; used the Google Maps - What's Here Tool to find the coordinates of the approximate geographic center of the river within the appropriate altitude range, on the adjacent shore (collection assumed to be terrestrial). Used the Google Maps - Measure Distance Tool again to find the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of Rio Tucano within the altitude range. Input coordinates, linear extent (3400.0 m), and measurement error (50 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the uncertainty radius.
