The author has identified the following significant results. Progress is being made in the areas of sun angle and atmospheric effects on the data and its interpretation. The effort is aimed at correction using only navigation and calendar data needed for satellite operation and derivations from the MSS data. Water estimation of value to land planners and conservationists has been demonstrated with verification of performance by comparison with a concurrent study involving map planimetry, aerial photos, and field-checking. The satellite will provide seasonal and annual coverage with timely information in a way not now feasible by conventional methods. For example, the reference data were obtained using the most recent files, which date back to 1949, and from most recent photography taken in 1968. The calendar time involved was three to four months, which is a reflection on priority pressure on trained manpower available. ERTS-1 data can help relieve this problem by providing the needed information while freeing trained manpower for more appropriate parts of the effort.
The author has identified the following significant results. Primary conclusions from the lake acreage study are: (1) The ERTS-1 band 7 density range of 0-5 reliably indicates open water down to 2 acre size. (2) The density range 6-9 identifies swamps. (3) The depth of the water could not be determined. (4) Cloud shadows can be misread as lakes unless the clouds are detected. (5) ERTS-1 data would provide the information for classifying lakes and for monitoring fluctuations in lake area.
