The report describes a multispectral survey of Arctic regions conducted by the University of Michigan in the vicinity of Point Barrow during late September and early October 1967. The purpose of the effort was to obtain calibrated multispectral imagery of typical Arctic terrain and sea areas. It was envisioned that subsequent reduction and interpretation of this data would indicate the realistic potentials of multispectral remote sensing techniques as tools for scientists interested in investigating the Arctic regions of the world.
