REMOTE SENSING OF OIL POLLUTION FROM THE AMOCO CADIZ

TELEDETECTION DES POLLUTIONS PAR HYDROCARBURES DE L'AMOCO CADIZ

The chronology of remote sensing flights organized by Centre National pour l'Exploitation des Oceans, IFP, and l'lnstitut Geographique National is summarized. Examples of the most commonly observed phenomena along the coastline are presented. An interpretation of the various data collected is given for the area of Roscoff, taken as a model. This interpretation is extended to draw series of maps of sea and coastline pollution for several days between Mar. 18 and May 26, 1978. The maps for Mar. 18 and 21 are included.
