Distribution of Oceanic Features Seen in Space Shuttle Photography.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to identify open ocean and coastal water features appearing within photographs taken during U.S. Space Shuttle missions (1981-1991) and to investigate their geographic and temporal occurrences. In addition to a comprehensive review of these data, to be submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal, this work will culminate in a database of coastal and ocean photographic data that may be accessed with standard desk-top computer equipment and software. Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences will provide facility support and Dr. Steven C. Ackleson will perform the research.
