provided data for the best selection of multispectral camera filters. Data on attenuation of 

 wavelengths are presented. The study analyzed photos of gray scale and color panel targets 

 located above and below water. Test results at three locations are given. Additive color 

 viewing for multispectral photo analysis is described.

Article describes applications of satellite photos in environmental studies. Gemini and 

 Apollo satellite photos are shown with annotations of features and processes tiiat can be 

 identified; many photos cover coastal areas in different parts of the world. Several types of 

 coastal features and processes are illustrated, including suspended sediment plumes, 

 nearshore current patterns, coastal landforms, tidal marshes, ocean wave patterns, longshore 

 sediment transport, and water depths. Coastal, geological and oceanographic applications of 

 satellite photos are discussed.

Report describes the use of photos to investigate synoptic distribution on bottom biotic 

 cover. Black and white, color, and color infrared photos were used. Information from photo 

 interpretation includes: (1) type distribution of biological cover on the bottom, (2) 

 determination of basic relationships between the biological communities, and (3) analysis of 

 man's activities on the ecology. This data were compared to field surveys. Use of photos to 

 map bottom conditions (hard rock or soft sediments) from the distribution of cover was 

 demonstrated. Report concludes that photos are a valuable tool in ecological surveys. 

 Photos of coastal areas, maps of shallow water vegetation, and underwater photos are 

 presented.

Report describes a test to examine water penetration of various wavelength bands. Test 

 consisted of photos of a white target painted on the submersible Ben Franklin while the 

 vessel was at depths of 0, 10, 15, and 25 meters. Photos were taken with a four-lens 

 multispectral camera. Test confirmed the capability of the blue band to record underwater
