Oil Spill Detection
The oil spill detection service provides, in an area chosen by the client, a report that shows all the oil spills detected with their respective geo-reference (lat/long). In addition, this report includes a thumbnail image of the oil slick profile, assisting in the evaluation of the potential environmental impact.
This report can be generated within hours of satellite acquisition, facilitating its use for monitoring the spill, especially to detect its origin, morphology and course depending on ocean flows. Generally, based on the area detected, an estimate of the volume of oil spilled can be made (this estimation is not part of the report).
We shape the spring in different formats at the customer’s request, covering areas as large as the customer requires.
