Scientific and Technical Information Branch 1985 National Aeronautics and Space Administration Washington; DC This supplement is available as NTISUB/038/093 from the National Technical Information Service (NTIS), Springfield, Virginia 22161 at the price of $12.50 domestic; $25.00 foreign for standing orders. Please note: Standing orders are subscriptions which do not terminate at the end of a year, as do regular subscriptions, but continue indefinitely unless specifically terminated by the subscriber. INTRODUCTION
The technical literature described in this continuing bibliography may be helpful to researchers in numerous disciplines such as agriculture and forestry, geography and cartography, geology and mining, oceanography and fishing, environmental control, and many others. Until recently it was impossible for anyone to examine more than a minute fraction of the Earth's surface continuously. Now vast areas can be observed synoptically, and changes noted in both the Earth's lands and waters, by sensing instrumention on orbiting spacecraft or on aircraft. This literature survey lists 494 reports, articles, and other documents announced between January 1 and March 31, 1985 in Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR), and International Aerospace Abstracts (IAA). The coverage includes documents related to the identification and evaluation by means of sensors in spacecraft and aircraft of vegetation, minerals, and other natural resources, and the techniques and potentialities of surveying and keeping up-to-date inventories of such riches. It encompasses studies of such natural phenomena as earthquakes, volcanoes, ocean currents, and magnetic fields; and such cultural phenomena as cities, transportation networks, and irrigation systems. Descriptions of the components and use of remote sensing and geophysical instrumentation, their subsystems, observational procedures, signature and analyses and interpretive techniques for gathering data are also included. All reports generated under NASA's Earth Resources Survey Program for the time period covered in this bibliography will also be included. The bibliography does not contain citations to documents dealing mainly with satellites or satellite equipment used in navigation or communication systems, nor with instrumentation not used aboard aerospace vehicles. The selected items are grouped in nine categories. These are listed in the Table of Contents with notes regarding the scope of each category. These categories were especially chosen for this publication, and differ from those found in STAR and IAA. Each entry consists of a standard bibliographic citation accompanied by an abstract. The citations include the original accession numbers from the respective announcement journals. Under each of the nine categories, the entries are presented in one of two groups that appear in the following order: IAA entries identified by accession number series A85-10.000 in ascending accession number order; STAR entries identified by accession number series N85-10.000 in ascending accession number order. After the abstract section, there are six indexes: subject, personal author, corporate source, contract number, report/accession number, and accession number. AVAILABILITY OF CITED PUBLICATIONS

Three LANDSAT scenes were evaluated using CODE a Kauth-Thomas brightness/greenness data transformation (May, June, and August dates). The data was classified using a four-band maximum-likelihood classifier. A print map was taken into the field to determine the relationship between print symbols and vegetation. It was determined that classification confusion could be greatly reduced by incorporating geomorphic units and soil texture (coarse vs fine) into the classification. Spectral data, geomorphic units, and soil texture were combined in a GIS format to produce a final vegetation map identifying 12 vegetation types. Author

The wide scan angle (+ or - 54 deg) of this system permits daily views of the earth when used to its limits. Five-day repetitive coverage is acquired, assuming cloud-free conditions, in current operations which limit the use of the scan to the center + or - 14 deg of swath. While use of the full scan width would provide clear acquisitions frequent enough to monitor crop development and condition even with normal cloudiness, these off-nadir data are made difficult to interpret due to the non-Lambertian nature of the surface, enhanced effect of the atmosphere, inclusion of subpixel and thin invisible clouds in the scene, and differences in illumination across the scene; all of which contribute to variations in observed reflected radiation. Some approaches to provide corrections for these effects are discussed here. Author EARTH RESOURCES A Continuing Bibliography (Issue 45)

Ann Arbor, Ml, Environmental Research Institute of Michigan, 1984, p. 589-597. Fronts and water masses of the northwest Atlantic Ocean are detected in satellite infrared images by an automated classification procedure. The classification algorithm is composed of the Bayes Decision Rule which uses historical data compiled from this region. The Decision Rule operates such that, among a given set of ocean fronts and water masses, each pixel is associated with the most probable class. The probabilities that pixels indicate particular fronts and water masses are computed from the historical locations 05 of these classes and from probability density functions which themselves are based upon the historical sea surface temperature OCEANOGRAPHY AND MARINE RESOURCES field. Two applications of the classifier compare favorably with more traditional, manual interpretations of the images.

In observed enhanced amplification of 1.6 is attributable to particular, the following techniques are compared: multiple signal bathymetric and current refraction. In the case of the shorter classification (MUSIC), maximum entropy (ME), and maximum system, the absence of any amplification is attributed to the fact likelihood (ML).

Previously Thermal scanner imagery is often disturbed by 'scan-line-noise', announced in STAR as N84-10641. refs especially over homogeneous areas like water surfaces. Common A technique to extract the topography modulation component spatial filter techniques like 'moving average' or 'median filtering' from digital data is described. The enhancement process is based are not sufficient. Also frequency domain filtering is not an optimal on the fact that the pixel contains two types of information: (1) way for noise reduction. For this purpose a special digital filter, reflectance variation due to the target; (2) reflectance variation the scanner-regression-filter (SRF) for scanner imagery, was due to the topography. In order to enhance the signal variation developed. This filter is derived from the assumption that due to topography, the technique recommends the extraction from scan-line-noise is column independent so that two-dimensional original LANDSAT data of the component resulting from target filtering can be reduced to a one-dimensional problem.
