The remote sensing and GIS software used in this study were
SeaDAS 4.9 (GSFC/NASA, USA), ERDAS Imagine 9.1 (ERDAS Atlanta, GA,
USA) and ArcGIS 9.2 (The Environmental System Research Institute,
USA). Data processing and modeling were performed mainly with
ArcGIS 9.2, while SeaDAS 4.9 and ERDAS Imagine 9.1 were used for
satellite image processing. ArcGIS 9.2 was operated on a Pentium
Celeron 2.80 GHz workstation with a 1 GB RAM, 160 GB harddisk. The
display was a DELL 17 in. color monitor.
