Use of the Doppler technique to track free roaming animals from satellites
The application of the Doppler effect to track wild animals is discussed, with artificial satellites used to provide wide range coverage. The limitations of radiotelemetry for the purpose of tracking animals are presented. The advantages of the artificial satellite, with specific reference to the Nimbus satellite, are examined.

Satellite observations of upper atmosphere O3 and HNO3 from the Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere /LIMS/ experiment on Nimbus 7
The Limb Infrared Monitor of the Stratosphere (LIMS) experiment, launched on-board the Nimbus satellite, was designed to measure both day and night limb radiance which is used to infer upper atmosphere temperature profiles and chemical compound concentrations important in the study of ozone chemistry. The LIMS instrument is a six channel, limb scanning, thermal radiometer which uses HgCdTe detectors, cooled to approximately 64 K. Measurements include ozone, water vapor, nitrogen dioxide, and nitric acid. The ozone and nitric acid channels are centered at approximately 9.6 microns and 11.3 microns, respectively. Results from the channels are described with an emphasis on data validation. The O3 and HNO3 channels have demonstrated high measurement precision.

Nimbus earth resources observations
The potential for utilizing data gathered by Nimbus satellites to study the earth surface and its physical properties is illustrated. The Nimbus data applicable to investigations of the earth and its resources, and to the problems of resolution and cloud cover are described. Geological, hydrological, and oceanographic applications are discussed. Applications of the data to other fields, such as cartography, agriculture, forestry, and urban analysis are presented. Relevant information is also given on the Nimbus orbit and experiments; surface and atmospheric effects on HRIR and THIR radiation measurements; and noise problems in the AVCS, IDCS, HRIR, and THIR data.
