A Summary of Remote Sensing Investigations in the New York Bight

摘要

A number of experiments were conducted using specific remote sensing techniques and directed toward gathering and analyzing information on significant ocean parameters observed in the New York Bight. These remote sensing experiments were conducted by or for the National Environmental Satellite Service of NOAA in April 1973 and April 1975. The data were collected from multi-altitude remote sensing operations (intermediate- and high-altitude aircraft, and the Landsat-1 satellite) and from surface operations to obtain concurrent in situ data. The resulting data were analyzed to obtain information on chlorophyll-a distribution, suspended particulate concentration, Secchi disk transparency sea surface temperature, water mass classification, and circulation, both at the surface and at 10 meters depth.
