The subjects investigated are related to modeling studies, atmospheric effects and radiometric calibration, marine and geological research, spectral signature studies, agricultural research, information extraction and processing, engineering and mapping considerations, and future prospects. Attention is given to a review of models and measurements of multispectral reflectance by plant canopies with recommendations for future research, electrooptical terrain reflectance modeling, atmospheric effects on remote sensing of surface reflectance, the importance and attainment of accurate absolute radiometric calibration, remote sensing of coastal and ocean properties, and high spectral resolution remote sensing of the land. The remote sensing of vegetation at regional scales is considered along with the remote sensing of vegetation characteristics for farm management, the interpretation of topographic relief from digital multispectral imagery, remote sensing research, mapping the earth from space in the 1980s, and the future of remote sensing according to a viewpoint from industry.
