Reflectance Spectroscopy in Planetary Science. Review and Strategy for the Future. Report of a Workshop (Yountville, California, April 9-11, 1988).
McCord, Thomas B., Ed.
Reflectance Spectroscopy is one of several remote sensing techniques used to study the surfaces and atmospheres of solar system objects. It provides first-order information on the presence and amounts of certain ions, molecules, and minerals on a surface or in an atmosphere. This report is a consolidation of written material generated at a 3-day workshop designed to assess current capabilities, facilities, and personnel, as well as focuses and future directions and needs in the field. A wide spectrum of active investigators was invited and most attended. The report is intended as a start of the review of the field. It was recommended that further reviews and assessments be done periodically. Chapters include: (1) Summary and Key Findings; (2) Purpose and Scope of the Workshop; (3) The Field of Reflectance Spectroscopy; (4) Contributions; (5) Current Capabilities and Resources; (6) Future Applications and Requirements; and (7) Strategy and Implementation.
