In this paper the application of Landsat MSS, NOAA/TIROS AVHRR, and NIMBUS CZCS to study the La Plata River is analyzed. To accomplish this objective, some properties of the river are described first and, second, the following characteristics of the satellite systems are analyzed, a) spectral response, b) radiometric sensitivity and dynamic range, c) spatial resolution, swath width, and coverage frequency, and, third, the characteristics of each satellite system for remote sensing of this area are determined. Results indicate that each system contributes different kinds of information that complement each other and, if used as a set, will provide a better understanding of this river and its interaction with the ocean. |
