OIL SLICK DETECTION BY X-BAND SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR

The results of two oil slick detection experiments made with an X-band real time synthetic aperture radar are presented. In each case the slicks were small, on the order of 0.2 to 0.6 square Km., and they were detected in calm seas, with wind speeds of less than 5 knots.
