Broad area forest fuels and topography mapping using digital Landsat and terrain data
Mark Shasby, Robert E. Burgan, Gregg R. Johnson
1981, Conference Paper, Seventh international symposium: Machine processing of remotely sensed data
A spatially registered digital data base of fuels and terrain information was generated for a test site on the Lolo National Forest in Montana. The data base was developed specifically for providing spatially relevant data to a mathematical fire behavior model developed by the Forest Service which integrates this information...

Use of remote sensing for monitoring deforestation in tropical and subtropical latitudes
J. J. Talbot, Lawrence R. Pettinger
1981, Ciencia Interamericana (21) 63-71
Of the three types of remotely sensed data discussed here, Landsat data offers the greatest potential for monitoring broad changes in extensive tropical forest environments because of its low-cost, synoptic, repetitive coverage. Scientists from developing countries can choose from a variety of Landsat data classification techniques, thus enabling each country...
A pleistocene sand sea on the Alaskan arctic coastal plain
L. D. Carter
1981, Science (211) 381-383
A ridge and thermokarst-basin landscape that is strikingly portrayed in Landsat winter imagery consists of large Pleistocene dunes that have been modified by younger eolian activity and thermokarst processes. This is the most extensive area of large stabilized dunes yet reported in the North American Arctic; the landscape is of...
Arid land monitoring using Landsat albedo difference images
Charles J. Robinove, Pat S. Chavez Jr., Dale G. Gehring, Ralph Holmgren
1981, Remote Sensing of Environment (11) 133-156
The Landsat albedo, or percentage of incoming radiation reflected from the ground in the wavelength range of 0.5 [mu]m to 1.1 [mu]m, is calculated from an equation using the Landsat digital brightness values and solar irradiance values, and correcting for atmospheric scattering, multispectral scanner calibration, and sun angle. The albedo...
Effects of the atmosphere on the detection of surface changes from Landsat multispectral scanner data
Joseph Otterman, Charles J. Robinove
1981, International Journal of Remote Sensing (2) 351-360
The atmospheric effects on radiometric data recorded in the Landsat multispectral scanner system (MSS) bands are compiled for cases of representative and ideal atmospheric conditions. The effects are expressed as a difference between the Earth's surface spectral reflectivity, a0, and the surface-atmosphere system spectral reflectivity, as, derived from the satellite...
Discrimination of a chestnut-oak forest unit for geologic mapping by means of a principal component enhancement of Landsat multispectral scanner data
M. D. Krohn, N.M. Milton, D. Segal, A. Enland
1981, Geophysical Research Letters (8) 151-154
A principal component image enhancement has been effective in applying Landsat data to geologic mapping in a heavily forested area of eastern Virginia. A chestnut-oak forest unit, which occurs on metavolcanic rocks and some metaclastic rocks in the western Piedmont and on highly weathered upland...
Significant results from using earth observation satellites for mineral and energy resource exploration
William D. Carter
1981, Advances in Space Research (1) 261-269
A large number of Earth-observation satellites orbit our world several times each day, providing new information about the land and sea surfaces and the overlying thin layer of atmosphere that makes our planet unique. Meteorological satellites have had the longest history of experimental use and most are now considered operational....
Volgograd and vicinity: a Landsat view
William A. Dando, Gary E. Johnson
1981, Journal of Geography (80) 235-237
Many diverse features can be discerned on the Landsat image of Volgograd and vicinity. Some of these features have resulted directly from man's alteration of the land surface in accordance with Stalin's and Khrushchev's plans for control of climate and for development in Volgograd and the surrounding area. Landsat images...
Evaluation of Landsat Multispectral Scanner data for mapping vegetated soil landscapes
D. R. Thompson, Robert H. Haas, M. H. Milford
1981, Soil Science Society of America Journal (45) 91-95
Landsat multispectral scanner data for Brazos County, Texas, were evaluated in terms of effectiveness for classifying soils on vegetated landscapes at three times during the year: a time of normally adequate soil water, a time of expected soil water deficit, and a time when soil water is normally being replenished....

Survey of resampling techniques using MSS and synthetic imagery
Brian P. Bauer
1980, Report
The objective of this survey is to investigate the methods of interpolation and deconvolution for image restoration The methods evaluated are nearest neighbor, bilinear interpolation, cubic convolution, and two-dimensional deconvolution. The effects of these restoration methods are demonstrated using Landsat multispectral scanner (MSS) data and synthetic imagery. The effect of these...

The volume and areal distribution of ground-water withdrawals (pumpage) for irrigation during 1980 are required for the High Plains Regional Aquifer-System Analysis. In 1979, approaches and instrumentation that might be suitable for application to 1980 water-use determinations were tested. Pumpage was sampled by monitoring time of operation and discharge of...
