detail during atmospheric haze. Study concludes that two spectral bands, 460-510 

 miUimicrons and 510-560 milUmicrons, should be used to optimize depth penetration. If 

 only one is used, the 460-580 band is recommended. Technical aspects of films and filters 

 for photo studies of water bodies is included in report.

Report describes a study of sedimentation and erosional processes and features along the 

 coast of Padre Island from color and color infrared photos. Color photos were best for 

 interpreting water currents from sediment patterns and for bottom detail. Color infrared 

 photos were superior for sand features on land and in sliaUow water. The study 

 demonstrated the usefulness of synoptic coverage of a coastal region on a sequential basis by 

 remote sensing. Several coastal processes are discussed and illustrated, including suspended 

 sediment plumes and sediment deposition patterns. Periodic photos show the effects of 

 storms and the healing of storm-produced effects by long term coastal processes.

Keywords: Microwave Sensors, Bibliography 



A compilation of literature describing passive microwave sensor apphcations in earth-related 

 studies. References on the characteristics of passive microwave sensors and the theory of 

 microwave radiometry are included. The bibliography is in three parts: a list of books and 

 proceedings (without abstracts), a general hst of publications on passive microwave sensor 

 apphcations (with annotations), and a hst of articles on microwave absorption and 

 attenuation in the earth's atmosphere (without annotations). Many meteorological, 

 geological, geophysical, and oceanographical applications are described. Bibliography is an 

 excellent source of background information on the characteristics and applications of 

 passive microwave sensors.
