“…This sensor, built by Space and Technology International, has 288 channels which are resampled into 72 5 nm bands covering the range from 432-832 nm at 12-bit quantisation. Flying aboard a low-flying Piper Aztec at 500 m altitude, the AAHIS can generate data with 0.5 m or less resolution for 385 pixel pushbroom swath width (Holasek et al 1997). Like most hyperspectral sensors, the AAHIS and similar ones by other companies and organisations have been conceived as general purpose instruments to measure a very wide range of objects.…”

Over the years, making or creating a choice for a specific platform from which to conduct remote sensing observations of specific targets brings in many factors related to the target characteristics and how the data are going to be used. Attempts to measure Earth's diverse objects have generated a wide range of platform alternatives, from geostationary satellites to low-flying aircraft. Now several additional options possessing unique attributes are available: the International Space Station (ISS) and Un-inhabited Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). This paper explores some of the tradeoffs among these alternatives for the special problem of remotely sensing the littoral zone, but especially the shallow ecosystems. Though the surface area of the littoral zone is relatively large, it is geographically disbursed and somewhat linear. Also, the spatial, spectral and temporal variability of ecosystems in this zone is very high, and signals are masked by the overlying water column. Ideally, a frequent revisit time would be desirable to monitor their health and changing condition. These characteristics place important constraints on platform choice as one tries to design a system to monitor these critical ecosystems and provide useful information for managing them. This paper discusses these tradeoff issues as offered mainly by three platform choices: free-flying satellites, ISS, UAVs and other aircraft.

Remote sensing has been suggested as a potential tool for monitoring coral-reef ecosystems. However, before remote sensing can be viewed as a practical monitoring and diagnostic tool for entire coral communities, there is a need to understand the spectral responses from individual coral species. Toward that end, it seems important to not only establish the range of natural variability in spectral reflectance but also to develop procedures to enhance understanding of the spectra. This paper describes our data collection approach as well as a procedure for examining the spectral features associated with one species of coral (Siderastrea siderea). The 1 Corresponding author; 140 RUNDQUIST ET AL.paper also examines the spectral variability in reflectance within samples of the same species and suggests a procedure for highlighting the spectral positions of absorbers/pigments, thus yielding useful information about pigment composition in one coral species.
