Remote sensing analysis of water quality in the San Francisco Bay-deltaWater quality parameters in the San Francisco Bay-delta area using remotely sensed data combined with in situ data are investigated. The parameters included suspended solids, chlorophyll, turbidity, and electrical conductivity; the ocean color scanner (OCS) data were acquired from a NASA U-2 aircraft, and water quality samples were obtained from boats. It was concluded that areas with high biological activity were clearly discernible on enhanced imagery from OCS data, and it was impossible to locate such areas on aerial photography taken with conventional or infrared sensitive color films.
