Page 1391 - Strong sediment transport out of the bay in the upper portion of the water column is clearly visible, with some of the plumes extending up to 20 miles out of the bay.
Page 1637 - Plains states, are playing increasingly important roles in flood control, recreation, agriculture, and urban water supply. Satellite imagery may prove useful for acquiring timely low cost water quality data required for optimum management of these fresh water resources. 2.0 INTRODUCTION The dominant limnological feature of the Great Plains today takes the form of reservoirs constructed by the US Army Corps of Engineers and the US Bureau of Reclamation. The primary influence on the reservoir ecosystem...

Page 1803 - The Office for Remote Sensing of Earth Resources (ORSER) of the Space Science and Engineering Laboratory (SSEL) at The Pennsylvania State University has developed an extensive operational system for processing and analyzing ERTS-1 and aerial multispectral scanner (MSS) data.
Page 1291 - As an example of this, the spectra given in figure 12 were integrated over the MSS 4, MSS 5, and MSS 6 filter functions. A series of numerical tests were then made of ratios, differences, and sums to see if the three water types could be distinguished at the sea surface. It was quite easy to distinguish on the basis of such calculations between the Gulf Stream waters and the coastal waters, and between the coastal waters and the plankton bloom; however it was not possible to distinguish between the...

Page 1931 - Matheron [49] uses a matching procedure to detect the spatial regularity of shapes called structural elements in a binary image. When the structural elements themselves are single resolution cells, the information provided by this approach is the autocorrelation function of the binary image. By using larger and more complex shapes, a more generalized autocorrelation can be computed. The gray tone spatial dependence approach characterizes texture by the cooccurrence of its gray tones.
Page 1387 - Imagery and digital tapes from nine successful ERTS-1 passes over Delaware Bay during different portions of the tidal cycle have been analyzed with special emphasis on turbidity, current circulation, waste disposal plumes and convergent boundaries between different water masses. ERTS-1 image radiance correlated well with Secchi depth and suspended sediment concentration.
