Description

Sediment Analysis Network for Decision Support (SANDS) MODIS Gulf Subsetted dataset consists of daytime images for Terra and Aqua MODIS Reflectance bands 8-16, subsetted to 31-27N latitude and 90-84.25W longitude (Gulf of America coastline in Alabama and portions of Florida) from September 11, 2000 to September 9, 2008. These are seasonal data for storms. The Sediment Analysis Network for Decision Support (SANDS) analyzes GeoTIFF images to determine sediment redistribution after a hurricane on the Gulf coast and then creates a product based on the analysis.
