ACKNOWLEDGMENT The authors depended heavily on the technical guidance and encouragement of R. B. MacDonald and Dr. F. G. Hall of NASA-[!text type='JS']JS[!/text]C. We wish to acknowledge the role of Professor D. B. Botkin in the conception and origination of the COVER project. Special thanks are also due our associates at the University of California; Santa Barbara: Dr. K. Woods; Dr; Wilson; and L. Schmidt; who collected measurements of the biophysical characteristics of the boreal forest test sites during 1983 and 1984. Much of the analysis of these data was conducted by Dr. A. Feiveson of the Johnson Space Center. Post mission calibration of the scatterometer was performed by S. Feaster of NASA-[!text type='JS']JS[!/text]C; L. Biehl and C. Daughtry of LARS-Pur-due; and M. Mikinski of the University of Michigan. M. Herridge of Lockheed EMSCO supported the NASA Johnson Space Center helicopter field research throughout the LACIE; AgRISTARS; and Global Hability research programs from 1975 until his death in 1984;
