Description:Estuarine plumes on the continental shelf of northeastern North America emanating from bays and river mouths were studied in 335 Landsat MSS and 68 HCMM thermal infrared images. Plume boundaries were interpreted from surface turbidity and temperature discontinuities as revealed from image analysis. Techniques involved color additive enhancement, video density slicing, and visual analysis. The shelf region of study extended from southern Virginia to Boston, Massachusetts.
