Abstract:
A method for detection of oil spills based on sea surface sensing by three laser beams: vertically downward, at an angle along a line of movement, and at an angle across a line of movement, is considered. It is shown that the three-beam laser method allows independent monitoring of two effects: smoothing of wind roughness of the sea surface and variation of the reflection coefficient and, therefore, detection of oil spills with high reliability.
