The use of a vegetation index for assessment of the urban heat island effect The use of a vegetation index for assessment of the urban heat island effect
A vegetation index and radiative surface temperature were derived from NOAA-11 Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data for the Seattle, WA region from 28 June through 4 July 1991. The vegetation index and surface temperature values were computed for locations of weather observation stations within the region and compared to observed minimum air temperatures. These...

Reconnaissance guidelines for gold exploration in Central Alaska Reconnaissance guidelines for gold exploration in Central Alaska
Distribution of more than 300 gold-bearing samples from the Livengood (Tolovana) and parts of the Fairbanks and Rampart mining districts in central Alaska, USA, indicate that the concentration of gold in placers is spatially related both to structural features and to Late Cretaceous and (or) Tertiary felsic plutons. The regional consistency of these spatial relationships is demonstrated...

Analyzing vegetation dynamics of land systems with satellite data Analyzing vegetation dynamics of land systems with satellite data
Large area assessment of vegetation conditions is a major requirement for understanding the impact of weather on food, fiber, and forage production. The distribution of vegetation is largely associated with climate, terrain characteristics, and human activity. The interpretation of vegetation dynamics from satellite data can be improved by stratifying the land surface into ecoregions...

Cooperative studies between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China on applications of remote sensing to surveying and mapping Cooperative studies between the United States of America and the People's Republic of China on applications of remote sensing to surveying and mapping
A Protocol established between the National Bureau of Surveying and Mapping, People's Republic of China (PRC) and the U.S. Geological Survey, United States of America (US), resulted in the exchange of scientific personnel, technical training, and exploration of the processing of remotely sensed data. These activities were directed toward the application of remotely sensed data to...
Data integration through region-based nominal filtering Data integration through region-based nominal filtering
Resource models integrating disparate nominal or class grid-cell data can be implemented by using spatial filters. Most modelling procedures do not adequately handle noise created during the process of merging and integrating multiple grid-cell data sets. Data integration can be best accomplished in an environment where ready access to statistical and database management systems support...

Land cover mapping of the Upper Kuskokwim Resource Management Area, Alaska, using Landsat and a digital data base approach Land cover mapping of the Upper Kuskokwim Resource Management Area, Alaska, using Landsat and a digital data base approach
Digital land cover and terrain data for the Upper Kuskokwim Resource Management Area in south-central Alaska were produced by the U.S. Geological Survey for the U.S. Bureau of Land Management. These and other environmental data were incorporated into a digital data base to assist in the production of a land cover map and to facilitate in the management and planning of the area. The...

Mineral resource assessment of the Dillon 1° x 2° quadrangle, Idaho and Montana Mineral resource assessment of the Dillon 1° x 2° quadrangle, Idaho and Montana
The Dillon 1°x2° quadrangle in southwestern Montana and east-central Idaho was investigated as part of the U.S. Geological Survey's Conterminous United States Mineral Assessment Program (CUSMAP) to determine its mineral resource potential. An interdisciplinary study was made of geology, geochemistry, geophysics (gravity and aeromagnetics), remote sensing, and mineral deposits. The...

Destriping of Landsat MSS images by filtering techniques Destriping of Landsat MSS images by filtering techniques
The removal of striping noise encountered in the Landsat Multispectral Scanner (MSS) images can be generally done by using frequency filtering techniques. Frequency domain filtering has, however, several problems, such as storage limitation of data required for fast Fourier transforms, ringing artifacts appearing at high-intensity discontinuities, and edge effects between adjacent...
