Qualitative interpretation of remotely sensored data as a key to mapping vegetation patterns in the Western Sudan

Abstract: Data capabilities of satellites remote sensor systems are briefly discussed. Monthly remotely sensored data of NIMBUS 3 meteorological satellite over parts of the Sudan, West of Lake Chad in Africa, using the HRIR -High Resolution Infra Red Radiometer (sensing between 0.7-1.3 u wavelength) are used to study the monthly shifts in the vegetation boundaries for this area.
