Papers on remote sensors, data systems, and scientific investigations related to land, open ocean, ice, astmosphere, and climate research are presented. Topics include the High-Resolution Imaging Spectrometer for NASA's Earth Observing System; the future of remote sensing techniques; airborne electrooptical imaging; airborne stereo line imager data; a helicopter-borne scatterometer; SAR image data compression; international remote-sensing satellites; Radarsat; the integration of remote sensing and geographic information systems; the Argos system; TM data screening; surveillance radar; the use of microwave radiometry in hydrology; and the use of Landsat, AVHRR, and SPOT data in environmental studies. Research using remote-sensing techniques is presented, covering topics such as the measurement of currents, intense and tornadic thunderstorms, suspended sediments in estuaries, calculating land and forest cover, flash flood potential, sea-level variations, agricultural monitoring, fire detection, anaylsis of marine shallow water-bottom features, detection of human-induced environmental change, crop yield estimation, the composition of volcanic rocks, ice surveillance, snow-cover mapping, road detection, surface wind-speed measurements, and mineral exploration.
