Meteorological utility of high resolution multispectral data

Abstract

There are no author-identified significant results in this report. This investigation is directed towards determining the meteorological information content of ERTS-1 MSS bulk data at 0.6 - 0.7 microns as a function of resolution. To accomplish this, the resolution of the MSS data is degraded incrementally to 0.5 min. Subsequent analysis of the processed photographs in conjunction with surface and upper air observations will then determine to what extent significant meteorological information has been lost in the degradation process.
