In situ spectroradiometric quantification of ERTS dataThe task of correlating in situ spectral reflectance measurements with ERTS imagery has commenced. A method of additive color analysis of a single multispectral band taken on different dates indicates that ERTS-1 bulk images have sufficient spatial and spectral fidelity to show indications of the presence of soil moisture in desert playas and changes in soil moisture with time. The chain of causality between soil moisture, in situ spectral reflectance, and ERTS multispectral scanner image density remains to be established during the subsequent phases of this study.
