Analysis of satellite digital imagery in support of DFO oceanographic operations in the Beaufort Sea

Describes work carried out under the terms of NOGAP Project No.2 of the Beaufort Shelf Fish Habitat Study. Thermal and broad-band visible imagery from the NOAA 7 satellite was obtained over the Southern Beaufort Sea during July-September 1984. Digital data was then analyzed to produce maps of sea surface temperatures and turbidity in support of DFO oceanographic operations in the area.
