 Paper reviews visible region passive remote sensors in investigations of the ocean or other 

 water bodies. Review develops background information on planning of satelhtes for 

 oceanographic data collection. Report discusses water transparency and light attenuation in 

 water as a function of wavelength. Report also describes a photo test at Argus Island in the 

 Bahamas to collect oceanographic data. Test was only partly successful. Report suggests 

 areas of investigation for a better understanding of the use of photos for oceanographic 

 applications. Discussion of multispectral photo characteristics and capabilities is included.

Article describes a procedure using topographic maps to determine erosion of coastal cliffs. 

 Topographic maps were prepared from photos by use of photogrammetry and a stereo 

 plotting instrument. The maps were used to avoid tilt problems and relief distortions in 

 making measurements on photos. Results obtained at two locations along the coast of Japan 

 are presented. Recession of the cliffs was determined by plotting profiles in different years 

 based on topographic maps. Change in cUff profiles was used to compute volume of eroded 

 sediment. Authors also discussed relationship between cliff erosion rates and resistance of 

 rocks composing the cliffs.
