Post Hurricane Ike imagery for Galveston added to World User Imagery service

9/18/08—The World User Imagery 2D and 3D services, CSP_Imagery_World_2D and CSP_Imagery_World, were updated with imagery showing the aftermath of Hurricane Ike in the Galveston, Texas, area.

ArcMap users can download the attachment below and open the MXD file to view the Hurricane Ike imagery.

ArcGIS Explorer users can download NMF map and layer files from the ArcGIS Explorer Blog.

ArcMap, ArcGlobe, and ArcGIS Explorer users can use the server URL http://services.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services to access the CSP_Imagery_World_2D and CSP_Imagery_World services.

ArcMap and ArcGlobe users can connect to that server using the GIS Servers > Add ArcGIS Server command in the Add Data dialog or ArcCatalog.

ArcGIS Explorer users can connect to that server using the File > Open dialog and creating an ArcGIS Server connection under 'Servers'.

I was wondering if you could tell us the dates of the pre and post imagery and the what satellites were used or if it was photographic.

ArcGIS Online 2D imagery map services include the ability to Identify on the imagery to view metadata. This can be used to see the metadata for both the before and after imagery. The initial set of imagery that we published in our 2D service was from 9/15/2008, then we added some other imagery to our 3D service from a slightly later date.

With the Identify tool in ArcMap or in Web mapping applications, you can see the resolution, collection date, and source of the imagery at the location you click. The metadata applies only to the best available imagery at that location. You may need to zoom in to view the best available imagery.

For the Ike imagery, you can also view the metadata for the source imagery at http://ngs.woc.noaa.gov/ike/index.html.
