5 CONCLUSIONS AND DISCUSSION. During a period of eight months it was not pos sible to obtain imagery of reasonable quality of the NOAA-7 AVHRR system, a system with a near daily revisit capability. This is due to the high cloud cover, which is often present in the Lower Tana River region. This demonstrate the weekness of optical satellite systems in operational aplication practices and the urge for non-optical systems like radar for areas with a high cloud cover such as the tropics and many deltaic regions in the world. Despite the facts just mentioned, the AVHRR-images indicate their usefulness for investigation and monitoring of the vegetation growth in smaller regions. The radiometry and spatial resolution is sufficient to allow for such applications. Although no atmospheric corrections were performed on the imagery the enhanced images are in agreement with the field observations. REFERENCES Blyth, K. 1981. Remote sensing in hydrology.
