Basic Remote Sensing Investigation for Beach Reconnaissance.

Abstract

Progress is reported on two tasks designed to develop remote sensing beach reconnaissance techniques applicable to benthic and beach intertidal zones. In Task1--whose goal is to develop remote sensing algorithms for important beach composition and physical parameters--results of radiative transfer model development and application are reported. The model calculates the radiance of a beach, given physical and compositional information. In Task 2--whose goal is to develop remote sensing algorithms for mapping of bottom features in the benthic zone--results of radiative transfer model calculations and an evaluation of the modified ratio algorithm (MRA) performance in scattering waters are presented.
