Main Characteristics of Radar Sensors Active sensor Acquisition independent of sun light => operate in darkness Penetrate clouds Wide Coverage Sun-synchronous orbits Sentinel 1A 2017-09-15 07:54 28-Sep-17 / 8 /
Radar (SAR) versus Optical satellite images Synthetic Aperture RADAR mostly used C-band 5 Ghz 5 cm wavelength X-band 9 Ghz 3 cm wavelength Penetrates cloud cover, day or night Oil coats water surface, disrupts ocean backscatter creating dead zone for RADAR wave reflection - outlines slick Need only 40L of oil or produced water for detection wind 2-12 m/s Oil Spill Detection 28.09.2017 Page 9
