67 Application Examples Radar Satellite Imagery Global Seeps Database ( Airbus D&S) of off-shore oil slicks Constructed by systematically screening the world s offshore basins using a wide range of archive and fresh capture radar satellite data including ERS-1 and -2, TerraSAR-X, Radarsat-1 and 2, JERS-1, Envisat and PALSAR and optical satellite data including Landsat and ASTER

68 Current Australian Coverage Airbus D&S

69 Application Examples Radar Satellite Imagery Radar is used in preference to optical because it can penetrate cloud, can be acquired at night and is well suited to discriminate oil on the sea surface

70 Application Examples Radar Satellite Imagery Archive currently includes over interpreted scenes Database is continually updated, over 3000 new scenes were added in 2013 Slicks are characterized and ranked as probable natural seepage or man-made pollution based on a 3-part methodology
