targets composed of aluminum powder were used. Target movement during the time interval 

 between repeat flights is measured on the photos to determine current velocity and 

 direction. Photos were taken with color infrared film for increased haze penetration. 

 Infrared imagery of the harbor was taken at different tidal stages to define the thermal 

 characteristics of the surface waters. Surface temperatures will aid in determining current 

 patterns and in water pollution studies.

Selected Coastal Areas of the United States," U.S. Department of Commerce, National 



Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Ocean Survey, Rockville, Md., 1972. 



Keywords: Color Aerial Photographs, Coastlines, Coastal Mapping 



Publication describes a program by the National Ocean Survey (formerly USC&GS) to 

 periodically photograph the coasts of the United States with color and black and white 

 photos. Index of available color photos and information for ordering the photos are 

 included. Some 45 color stereopairs of coastal areas and a stereoscope are also included. A 

 description of the area, pertinent features shown, and technical data for each stereopair is 

 presented. Quality of the color photos is excellent. The stereopairs show coastal landforms, 

 underwater features, coastal vegetation, pollution effluents, storm damage, and land use.

 Paper discusses color infrared photos and infrared imagery in investigations of tidal marsh 

 vegetation near Sapelo Island, Georgia. The research was to determine tidal marsh 

 productivity from color infrared photos and field samplings. Photos were taken at four 

 different periods of growth and samples were collected to determine the grass productivity. 

 The vegetation was classified by height and the areal distribution of grasses was determined 

 from color infrared photos. Infrared imagery taken at 1-hour intervals was used to record 

 the progressive flooding of the marsh caused by the rising tide. Remote sensing and primary 

 production estimates from ground measurements are concluded to be a feasible and 

 economical method of determining productivity zones in tidal marshlands.
