The use of ERTS imagery in reservoir management and operation

The author has identified the following significant results. Real time data collection by orbiting satellite relay was found to be both reliable and feasible. ERTS imagery was assessed and it was shown that in most cases better spatial resolution and/or additional spectral bands would be required to satisfy NED's needs. A man-computer interactive system, using cathode ray tube display could solve the problem of an unwieldy mass of data for interpretation.

The use of LANDSAT DCS and imagery in reservoir management and operation

Experiments by the New England Division (NED), Corps of Engineers with LANDSAT-1 data collection and imaging systems are reported. Data cover the future usefulness of data products received from satellites such as LANDSAT in the day to day operation of NED water resources systems used to control floods.

The Use of LANDSAT DCS and Imagery in Reservoir Management and Operation

The author has identified the following significant results. The demonstration, local user terminal, has proven the hypothesis that a relatively inexpensive, automatic, and easily maintained ground receiving station for satellite relayed data is practical for an operational use.

The use of LANDSAT DCS and imagery in reservoir management and operation

The author has identified the following significant results. The local user terminal has proven the hypothesis that a relatively inexpensive, automatic, and easily maintained ground receive station for satellite relayed data is practical for operational use. Data acquisition activities were expanded to include both the teletype-relayed information as well as that received directly from local user terminals.

The use of LANDSAT DCS and imagery in reservoir management and operation

The author has identified the following signifcant results. From real time data, an intense storm with temperatures in the mid fifties was seen moving through New England. Approximately $33 million in damages were prevented because of the advance warning, and no damage was incurred in northern Maine as a result.

The use of LANDSAT DCS and imagery in reservoir management and operation

The author has identified the following significant results. A graph that shows the snow water equivalent data during the 1975-76 winter season for the Ninemile and Michaud Farms snow pillows located in northern Maine is shown. The Bournes transducers used in the snow pillow interface were tested after field use under controlled laboratory conditions of temperature and pressure. It was found that the temperature calibration curve for the Bournes transducers became erratic below 0 C. On 8-10 August 1976, the remainder of hurricane, Belle, travelled through Vermont, New Hampshire, northern Maine, and on into Canada's Maritime Provinces dumping three inches of rain in many areas. In Canada and Maine, local storms dropped up to two inches during the following week. The Saint John River reached near flood stages at Fort Kent, Maine. During this storm, DCP data were received from Fort Kent, Ninemile Bridge, and Saint Francis River in New Brunswick. Resulting high runoff after these storms was studied in connection with the proposed Dickey-Lincoln School dams to be built in that area, and significantly, it was found that creditable flood hydrographs could be generated from LANDSAT DCP data in spite of the voids caused by the satellite being below the horizon.
