Additional Imagery - We have provided four additional figures which illustrate other potential uses for the survey data. These are essentially the same data as displayed in the other figures but they have been manipulated and enhanced in a GIS environment to serve other purposes. The first image (Figure A) is simply a larger scale image, with ten foot contours, centered on a proposed shoreline development area in the McQuade Road area near Duluth. The second two figures (Figures B and C) are enhanced images of a fisheries research site near the Split Rock River. Figure C is part of a flyover movie of this site. Finally, Figure D shows a 3D image of the Silver Bay harbor that has been merged with a georeferenced aerial photo of the general area. The resulting image nicely portrays the shoreline characteristics, bathymetric contours, and substrates near the harbor site as they were in 1995. In addition, we developed a 3D movie which allows the viewer to see the Silver Bay site as it would look during a normal flyover and then as it would look if the water was completely transparent. The movie clip provides an intriguing way to portray fisheries habitat.
