NOAA Uses Applanix DSS to Survey Hurricane Dennis Destruction

NOAA today posted online more than 600 aerial images of the USA Gulf Coast regions struck by Hurricane Dennis last Sunday. The Florida Panhandle regions photographed range from Pensacola to Panama City. The aerial photograph missions were conducted by the NOAA Remote Sensing Division the day after Hurricane Dennis made landfall at 3:25 p.m. EDT on Santa Rosa Island between Navarre Beach and Pensacola Beach, Fla., packing winds between 115 mph to 120 mph. NOAA will conduct more aerial flights of the affected regions.

NOAA used an Applanix Digital Sensor System, or DSS, to acquire the images from an altitude of 7,500 feet. NOAA used a mix of private sector and NOAA assets to complete the mission.
