| Description | The author has identified the following significant results. Melting ice has been detected in Lake Erie by comparison of visible and near infrared differential reflectance. This melting condition is confirmed by meteorological ground truth data and concurrent NOAA-2 thermal infrared data. Using near-synchronous ERTS-1 data, it was possible to determine the approximate ground resolution of NOAA-2 very high resolution radiometer by comparing the smallest identifiable ice crack in the imagery and measuring the same crack on the ERTS-1 image. It was determined that photointerpretation and analysis of a single Lake Erie image can, under certain conditions, provide meaningful data on ice dynamics. ERTS-1 imagery is effective for icepack monitoring of the Great Lakes, but the sampling interval of 18 days imposes a severe limitation. Maps of the snow cover in the American River basin for 16 March 1973 have been prepared using all four bands. |
