Article describes the potential applications of side-looking radar in coastal mapping and 

 geomorphology studies. Advantages and limitations of radar imagery in coastal studies are 

 discussed. Advantages of radar imagery are the wide coverage per flight Une and the 

 all-weather, day and night capability that is important in coastal areas having cloud cover 

 most of the time. Radar images show a variety of coastal landforms in Panama and include: 

 tidal mudflats, breaking surf, estuarine features, beach features, and the relationship 

 between landforms and vegetation. Limitations are low spatial resolution and lack of water 

 depths, nearshore bottom detail, or longshore sediment transport. Use of radar imagery to 

 compile or update coastal maps is illustrated.

Report describes coastal zone requirements for remote sensors on Earth Observatory 

 Satellites A and B scheduled for launch during 1974-1976. These satellites are the same as 

 Earth Resources Satellites E and F. Estimates of optimum and minimum remote sensor 

 payloads were developed. Types of sensors considered in the satellite missions and the 

 coastal data obtainable are described. Priority coastal zone applications were concluded to 

 be pollution, fisheries, and geography-hydrology-cartography. Remote sensors for these 

 subjects would provide data unobtainable from other satellites.

Keywords: Aerial Photographs, Color Aerial Photographs, Color Infrared Photographs, 

 Radar Imagery, Infrared Scanner Imagery, Soil Identification, Mississippi River 

 Delta 

 Article presents a study of remote sensors in locating construction materials in deltas. Black 

 and white panchromatic, color, and color infrared photos; radar imagery; infrared scanner 

 imagery; and multispectral scanner imagery were evaluated. The Mississippi River Delta was 

 used as a study area and as an analog of the Mekong River Delta in Vietnam. Radar imagery 

 was best for a regional analysis and color infrared photos were best for the detailed analysis. 

 Ranking of remote sensors and their use in the coastal environment is included.
