The author has identified the following significant results. From ocean current analysis, it is concluded that the vortex was formed when the stream axis of the Kuroshio was gradually approaching Shiono Misaki. The sea surface temperatures in the area were found to be nearly homogenious having the values of 27.3 to 27.8C. Transparency of the water was better on the east side of Shiono Misaki than on the west side, the values being 20 to 27 m against 13m. Surface salinity distribution had a considerably high value of 33.7% on the east side, decreasing toward the west to become 32%.

The author has identified the following significant results. Rias shorelines are interpreted from the fine depiction of their complex features in the image of band 7. Sand beaches are discriminated from their linear nature, and the similarity of sand beaches among the all band is very good.

The author has identified the following significant results. A detailed land use classification for a large urban area of Tokyo was made using MSS digital data. It was found that residential, commercial, industrial, and wooded areas and grasslands can be successfully classified. A mesoscale vortex associated with large ocean current, Kuroshio, which is a rare phenomenon, was recognized visually through the analysis of MSS data. It was found that this vortex affects the effluent patterns of rivers. Lava flowing from Sakurajima Volcano was clearly classified for three major erruptions (1779, 1914, and 1946) using MSS data.

The author has identified the following significant results. Conspicuous results of composed color images were realized in the ground patterns, such as the fine meander of the Tenryu River. No significant difference was found between single band color image and multiband composed color image in the sea area. It was found that MSS was more advantageous for land than for sea; only band 4 shows dominant features in the sea.
The author has identified the following significant results. The sand beach was separated from sea water in each of four bands, if the beach had a width of 100 m or more. Density ranges of the sea for CCT counts were determined as 0-3 for band 7, 0-16 for band 6, 0-25 for band 5, and 0-27 for band 4.

The author has identified the following significant results. MSS data provided extensive and simultaneous information about marine environmental conditions, such as the shift of the Kuroshio, fall and rise of coastal water mass, distribution of water masses, locations of vortex and current rips, exchanges of water between embayment and open ocean effluent rivers, fertility of plankton, red tide, pollution, etc.
