Guidance for Application of Remote Sensing to Environmental Management. Appendix A. Sources of Available Remote Sensor Imagery,

摘要

Results are presented of a survey conducted to determine the sources, characteristics, and availability of remotely sensed imagery held by various Federal and state governmental organizations. Data presented were collected primarily by direct contact with Federal and state agencies and through extensive examination of published documents. The remote sensor data identified as a result of the survey comprises two principal categories of data: aircraft and satellite imagery. Data collected during the survey is presented and tabulated under eight general headings: agency or organization (sources), type of imagery, range of scales, coverage areas, coverage period and frequency, availability and characteristics of imagery, products available and cost, and procedures for obtaining imagery. Information concerning sources and availability of remote imagery held by commercial, private, and academic organizations is not presented. (Author)
