Description:
Skylab and LANDSAT MSS data were analyzed using computer-aided analysis techniques (CAAT). Results indicated that the middle infrared wavelength bands of the Skylab S-192 scanner would allow effective discrimination between snowcover and water-droplet clouds, whereas the limited spectral response of the LANDSAT-1 or 2 scanners do not allow such spectral discrimination. Five spectral classes of snowcover were defined and mapped. These classes were found to be related to differences in the proportion of snow and forest cover in the individual resolution elements.
