APPLICATIONS OF REMOTE SENSING TO HAZARDOUS SPILL INCIDENTS

Remote sensing techniques may be particularly well suited for monitoring the distribution of hazardous spill concentrations. These techniques provide the means for real-time viewing of large atmospheric volumes over remote distances that have extremely high spatial and temporal resolution. Atmospheric remote sensing has been used extensively in air pollution research programs and is currently being developed for the military for toxic agent applications. This paper discusses some previous studies that demonstrate capabilities that should be considered for application to hazardous spill incidents. (Author)
