Abstract
A final paper on water-level monitoring from space outlines principles for the use of space imagery in interpretation of short-term changes in the position of shorelines and coastal water levels resulting from storm surges and strong offshore winds. Over 100 images of various types, seasons, and storm-surge conditions, carefully referenced with field data on slope, vegetation cover, water level, and wind direction, were used to determine “maximal” and “minimal” positions of the Caspian shoreline for the period 1973-1983. This information is useful in understanding the seasonal regime of water-level fluctuations and anticipating flooding associated with winds of a given velocity.
