Description:

In evaluating the capability of the Seasat-A Synthetic Aperture Radar to detect the smoothing effects of oil slicks were: 1) lack of concurrent surface verification data, and 2) the appearance of so called confusion targets in the imagery. To "synthesize" necessary surface truth information, a linear deterministic oil trajectory model has been developed which sums the effects of winds, currents, and tides to predict hourly oil slick configurations within the Santa Barbara Channel study area.
