Extracting spectral contrast in Landsat Thematic Mapper image data using selective principal component analysis
P.S. Chavez Jr., Andy Y. Kwarteng
1989, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (55) 339-348
A challenge encountered with Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) data, which includes data from size reflective spectral bands, is displaying as much information as possible in a three-image set for color compositing or digital analysis. Principal component analysis (PCA) applied to the six TM bands simultaneously is often used to address...
Shaded relief map of US topography from digital elevations
R.J. Pike, G.P. Thelin
1989, Eos, Transactions, American Geophysical Union (70) 843-853
Much geologic and geophysical information that lies encoded within land surface form can be revealed by image processing large files of digitized elevations in fast machines and mapping the results. This convergence of computers, analytic software, data, and output devices has created exciting opportunities for automating...
Surface faulting: A preliminary view
R. V. Sharp
1989, Earthquake Spectra (5) 13-22
This description of surface faulting near Spitak, Armenia, is based on a field inspection made December 22-26, 1988. The surface rupture west of Spitak, displacement of the ground surface, pre-earthquake surface expressions of the fault, and photolineaments in landsat images are described and surface faulting is compared to aftershocks. It...
Radiometric calibration of Landsat Thematic Mapper multispectral images
P.S. Chavez Jr.
1989, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (55) 1285-1294
A main problem encountered in radiometric calibration of satellite image data is correcting for atmospheric effects. Without this correction, an image digital number (DN) cannot be converted to a surface reflectance value. In this paper the accuracy of a calibration procedure, which includes a correction for atmospheric scattering, is tested....

R. G. Bohannon
1989, Journal of African Earth Sciences (8) 589-602
Models describing the development of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, prior to the present periods of sea-floor spreading, include those that use block faulting on steep normal faults, uniform diffuse shear in continental crust, simple shear on large detachment faults that cut the entire lithosphere, combinations involving...

Selawik National Wildlife Refuge land cover mapping project users guide
Carl J. Markon
1988, Report
Title III of the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA, 1980) established the Selawik National Wildlife Refuge (SNWR). Section 304 of the Act requires the Secretary of Interior to "prepare, and from time to time revise, a comprehensive conservation plan" for the refuge. Before developing a plan for the...
FOLD, federally owned Landsat data, April 1988
Water Resources Division, U.S. Geological Survey
1988, Report
The FOLD data base lists all Landsat CCT's held by participating agencies. Duplicate CCT listings are maintained when more than one agency holds identical CCT's; this permits the user to select the most convenient site to obtain a copy. Copies of the listing are distributed by EDC to contributing agencies...
Glaciers of Antarctica
Richard S. Williams Jr., Jane G. Ferrigno
1988, Professional Paper 1386-B
Of all the world?s continents Antarctica is the coldest, the highest, and the least known. It is one and a half times the size of the United States, and on it lies 91 percent (30,109,800 km3) of the estimated volume of all the ice on Earth. Because so little is known about Antarctic...
Field conditions at the Maricopa Agricultural Center, Maricopa County, Arizona, June 13, 1988
Sandra J. Owen-Joyce
1988, Open-File Report 88-708
Field conditions were documented during the Landsat satellite overpass of the Maricopa Agricultural Center, Maricopa County, Arizona, on June 13, 1988. Crop types were mapped and photographed for each demonstration farm field. Field conditions described include irrigation, cultivation, and orientation of rows. Field and photographic descriptions are presented in tabular...
Numerical analysis of Landsat Thematic Mapper images of Antarctica
Olav Orheim, Baerbel K. Lucchitta
1988, Annals of Glaciology (11) 109-120
Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) data from Dronning [Queen] Maud Land, Antarctica, have been analysed to provide insights into physical properties of the ice sheet. Brightness (at-satellite) temperatures calculated from digital numbers of the thermal band (TM band 6), using state-of-the-art equations and constants (Markham and Barker 1986), are...
Thematic mapping from satellite imagery
J. Denégre, editor(s)
1988, Book
This report, produced between 1984 and 1987 in a bilingual edition (English and French), provides a wealth of information on a wide variety of cartographic applications which are being developed to make effective use of new data that is now being collected by Earth observation satellites. At a time when...
Intermediate-scale vegetation mapping of Innoko National Wildlife Refuge, Alaska using Landsat MSS digital data
Stephen S. Talbot, Carl J. Markon
1988, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (54) 377-383
A Landsat-derived vegetation map was prepared for lnnoko National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge lies within the northern boreal subzone of northwestern central Alaska. Six major vegetation classes and 21 subclasses were recognized: forest (closed needleleaf, open needleleaf, needleleaf woodland, mixed, and broadleaf); broadleaf scrub (lowland, upland burn regeneration, subalpine); dwarf...
An improved dark-object subtraction technique for atmospheric scattering correction of multispectral data
P.S. Chavez Jr.
1988, Remote Sensing of Environment (24) 459-479
Digital analysis of remotely sensed data has become an important component of many earth-science studies. These data are often processed through a set of preprocessing or "clean-up" routines that includes a correction for atmospheric scattering, often called haze. Various methods to correct or remove the additive haze component have been...
An integrated approach for automated cover-type mapping of large inaccessible areas in Alaska
Michael D. Fleming
1988, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (54) 357-362
The lack of any detailed cover type maps in the state necessitated that a rapid and accurate approach to be employed to develop maps for 329 million acres of Alaska within a seven-year period. This goal has been addressed by using an integrated approach to computer-aided analysis which combines efficient...
Multitemporal Landsat multispectral scanner and thematic mapper data of the Hubbard Glacier region, southeast Alaska
K.-M. Walker, C. Zenone
1988, Photogrammetric Engineering and Remote Sensing (54) 373-376
In late May 1986, the advancing Hubbard Glacier blocked the entrance to Russell Fiord near Yakutat, Alaska, creating a large ice-dammed lake. Runoff from the surrounding glaciated mountains raised the level of the lake to about 25 m above sea level by 8 October, when the ice dam failed. Remote...

Lee H. Raymond, Sandra J. Owen-Joyce
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4071
Estimates of evapotranspiration and consumptive use by vegetation in Palo Verde Valley, California, were compared for calendar years 1981 to 1984. Vegetation types were classified, and the areas covered by each type were computed from Landsat satellite digital-image analysis. Evapotranspiration was calculated by multiplying the area of each vegetation type...

Franklin G. Sadowski, Steven J. Covington
1987, Bulletin 1785
Advanced digital processing techniques were applied to Landsat-5 Thematic Mapper (TM) data and SPOT highresolution visible (HRV) panchromatic data to maximize the utility of images of a nuclear powerplant emergency at Chernobyl in the Soviet Ukraine. The images demonstrate the unique interpretive capabilities provided by the numerous spectral bands of...
Comparison of irrigation pumpage and change in water storage of the High Plains Aquifer in Castro and Parmer counties, Texas, 1975-83
Gary W. Mackey
1987, Water-Resources Investigations Report 87-4032
An understanding of the relationship between irrigation pumpage and change in ground-water storage was needed to quantify the amount of water returning to the High Plains aquifer as a result of intensive irrigation in Castro and Parmer Counties, Texas. Irrigation pumpage for the 9-year period, 1975-83, was estimated by using...
