Effective use of ERTS multisensor data in the Great Plains

The author has identified the following significant results. It appears that identification of corn and soybeans as separate classes may not be feasible for the part of the growing season around August 15. It is hoped that at other points in the growing season separation of corn from soybeans will be possible. Visual examination of September 5 imagery indicates that later in the growing season, it is possible. The resolution of the 1:300,000 scale enlargement remained sharp enough to distinguish features important for making soil association maps. The land use pattern (range vs cultivated) was sharp as were the stream bottoms, stream valley sides, and stock ponds. The resolution of the 1:1,000,000 scale enlargement was less sharp on detail but it appears that some features could be quantitatively analyzed. Among these are the hydrologic features present such as stock ponds and the streams. It would appear that the total area of stock pond water on a frame could be measured, and, after ground truth established their average depth, the volume of water stored could be calculated and be monitored.

Utilizing ERTS-A imagery for tectonic analysis through study of Big Horn Mountains region

The author has identified the following significant results. MSS scene 1085-17294 of the Big Horn region has been subjected to detailed structural analysis. Band 7 is particularly good for revealing structural and drainage patterns because of enhance topographic detail and the subdued vegetational contrasts. Considerable stereo coverage through sidelap with adjoining scenes adds to the effectiveness of the study and has been used on both positive transparencies and enlarged prints. Negative prints of Band 7 positive transparencies have proven to be much more useful than positive prints because the higher resolution of the positive transparencies can be maintained. The Bighorn Mountains are crisscrossed by a number of prominent topographic linears, most of which can be correlated with known fault and shear zones in the Precambrian crystalline core. Many of these do not appear to continue into the flanking sedimentary rocks and a few that do (Tensleep, Tongue River lineaments) are very difficult to trace farther out into the basins. The Tongue River lineament, long a source of speculation and uncertainty as to its existence, appears as a very prominent discontinuity in the imagery.
