Radiometric Methods of Remote Sensing of Oil Spills on Water Surfaces

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We present a comparative analysis of radiometric methods of remote sensing aimed at detecting and monitoring the parameters of oil spills on water surfaces. We consider the method of radio-brightness polarization contrasts and present the results of measuring the oil-film thickness on water, obtained using a two-frequency polarization radiometer with operating frequencies 12.2 and 34 GHz. The radiometric methods of radio-brightness contrasts and frequency scanning applied to the problems of remote sensing of oil-spill parameters are compared.
