GPS Coordinates of Large Grid Transects (750 m) Used For SAFARI 2000 Kalahari Transect Campaign, March 2000 Point of Contact: Jeffrey L. Privette Biospheric Sciences Branch Goddard Space Flight Center Greenbelt, MD 20771, USA Voice: (+1) 301 614 5571 Phone: (+1) 301 614 6630 Fax: (+1) 301 614 5571 E-mail: Jeff.Privette@nasa.gov The Large Grid consisted of three 750m parallel transects, each aligned in an east- west direction. The distance between adjacent transects was 250 m. Stake Flags were placed each 25 m along each transect to facilitate measurements. Recorded with a Garmin II GPS Receiver running PCX5 2.09 Software Datum: WGS 84 Position Code: ST#, where S=Site M=Mongu P=Pandamatanga O=Okavango Delta/Maun G=Ghanzi/Okwa River Crossing T=Tshane) T=Transect N=North A=middle B=South at Mongu: A=North B=middle C=South #=Location along Transect 1=West end or 375W 2=center or 0 3=East or 375E Positions labelled "TOW" indicate eddy covariance tower location, preceded by S=Site. Latitude number format: DDMM.MMMMM, preceded by S=South Longitude number format: DDDMM.MMMMM, preceded by E=East The approximate RMS position error for positions recorded in March 2000 is 12 m. The approximate RMS position error for positions recorded in September 2000 is 3 m.
