THE FEASIBILITY OF USING REMOTE SENSORS FOR GEOGRAPHIC RESEARCH.

Abstract

The project had as its purpose the evaluation of remote sensor returns for use as data sources for geographic research. Test site 46, which is a 50 mile long, 10 mile wide strip oriented generally northwest-southeast from the Tennessee-North Carolina state line near Hot Springs, over Asheville, to the vicinity of Hendersonville near the North Carolina-South Carolina state line, was established as a region for periodic sampling by remote sensors and subsequently evaluating the utility of using such returns as data sources or contributory information sources for solution of certain geographic problems.
