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 an elevation of 2000 m nearest to the approximate geographic center of Morro do Açu (or Assu), of the Serra dos Orgaos 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 coordinates at elevation 2000 m nearest to the approximate geographic center of the mountain. Used the Google Maps – Measure Distance Tool to approximate the linear extent by measuring from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of 2000 m elevation contour line of the mountain. Input coordinates, coordinate source (locality description), coordinate precision (.00001 degrees), datum (WGS84), linear extent (1580 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).
