CONCLUSION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS 
  
The foregoing analysis indicates that combined use of Landsat-MSS and NOAA- 
AVHRR data is effective in daily monitoring of wide coastal areas. Although the 
problems on the synchronization of both data and the spatial resolution of AVHRR 
remain, the analysis described in this paper is considered a practical and 
routinized method for utilizing present satellite remote sensing data for marine 
environmental monitoring. Lastly, the author would like to express his hearty 
thanks to NASDA for data collection, Dr. Shoji Takeuchi, RESTEC and Mr. Yasushi 
Suzuki, FIP for data processing. The author is also indebted to Professor 
Kiyoshi Tsuchiya, Faculty of Engineering, Chiba University for his advice in data 
analysis and writing the paper. This study is supported by a Fund for Scientific 
Research from the Ministry of Education.
