Geography
- Discriminate between buildings of various types, age, height
and construction.
- Delíneate and identify urban and rural urban fringe land use
types, i.e., industrial, residentíal, etc.
- Study relationship between Inselberg (Bornhardt) geomorpho-
logy and landslide processes.
- Obtain empiríóal data on porosity and permeability zpning in
relation to zones of landslide occurrences.
Hydrology
- Determine, using dyes, the vectors of watermotion during ebb
tide in important bays.
- Determine dispersion tensors of surface water (intensity)
- Test detection and motion of waste film on surface waters of
the area.
- Determine whether known sources and types of pollution can be
detected; delineate and discriminate as to biological, chemical,
etc.
- Characterize sediments deposition and movement at various depths
with various film filter combination.
- Study points of cool, fresh water inflow into bays.
Oceanography
- Define distribution of sea-surface thermal patterns.
- Locate and d'efine possible upwellings in the sea, and study
its mechanism.
- Establish Brazilian current boundaries.
- Characterize the near shore currents.
- Distinguish extent of bottom vegetation.
- Delineate shorelines, subsurface topography and water depths
(hydrographic mapping).
