# corners.txt -- Corners of bounding rectangles for Mahantango wsheds For the Mahantango watershed, GK27 subwatershed, and WE38 intensive study area, this file contains 1. Corner coordinates of the bounding rectangles; 2. Corresponding coordinates of the center of the upper-left pixel (grid cell) at various resolutions; and 3. Offsets for GK27 and WE38 relative to Mahantango at various resolutions. 1. The corners of the bounding rectangles, extended outwards to an integer multiple of 1000 meters in the UTM projection, zone 18, are as follows: Watershed NW corner SE corner Box Size Northing Easting Northing Easting (N x E, km) Mahantango 4512000 335000 4493000 389000 19 x 54 GK27 4511000 356000 4501000 379000 10 x 23 WE38 4511000 363000 4506000 367000 5 x 4 2. The corners specified above should be used with Arc/Info. For gridded data in LAS or ERDAS format, the coordinates of the upper left corner of the image specified by the LAS .DDR file or in the ERDAS header record refer to the center of the upper left pixel; i.e., they are offset by one-half pixel from the corner of the bounding rectangle (the necessary adjustments are made automatically by Arc routines IMAGEGRID and GRIDIMAGE and LAS routines ARC2LAS and LAS2ARC). To overlay data at different resolutions, therefore, the LAS/ERDAS upper left corner coordinates will have different values, as shown below. Mahantango: Pixel Size Image U. L. C.

The offsets from images covering the entire Mahantango to images covering only a subarea will also depend on the image resolution. These offsets are given below in the format of a LAS rectangular window specification (sl,ss,nl,ns), where sl = Starting line of window within image (1 denotes first line of image); ss = Starting sample (pixel) of window on each image line; nl = Number of lines in image window; ns = Number of samples (pixels) on each line within window. Because LAS numbers lines and pixels starting with 1, the actual offsets from the upper left corner of the larger image to the upper left corner of smaller image are 1 less than the values of sl and ss given below.
