Standard Guide for Selection of Airborne Remote Sensing Systems for Detection and Monitoring of Oil on Water

Importancia y uso:

2.1 The contributions that an effective remote sensing system can make are:

2.1.1 Provide a strategic picture of the overall spill,

2.1.2 Assist in detection of slicks when they are not visible by persons operating at, or near, the water's surface or at night,

2.1.3 Provide location of slicks containing the most oil,

2.1.4 Provide input for the operational deployment of equipment,

2.1.5 Extend the hours of clean-up operations to include darkness and poor visibility,

2.1.6 Identify oceanographic and geographic features toward which the oil may migrate,

2.1.7 Locate unreported oil-on-water,

2.1.8 Collect evidence linking oil-on-water to its source,

2.1.9 Help reduce the time and effort for long-range planning,

2.1.10 A log, or time history, of the spill can be compiled from successive data runs, and

2.1.11 A source of initial input for predictive models and for “truthing” or updating them over time.
