Gannet Alpha Oil spill Forties Field Gannet Alpha On 14th August 2011 an oil leak from the Gannet Alpha platform in North Sea Britain s water was found by Marine Scotland. It has been classified as significant spill and Britain s worst oil spill for over a decade. TS-X ScanSAR VV-pol North Sea Time: 2011-08-17 17:37 UTC Folie 21
Summary Target Detection and Masking Wind fields, high resolution from TerraSAR-X Wave fields, integral parameters (Hs, Tp, etc.) 1- and 2-dimensional wave spectra Oil spill detection Discrimination from natural slicks for dual-polarized SAR (HH/VV) Rough estimation of the spill s age can be done using wind field history (to be improved by use of oil drift model) Folie 22
