Sea Oil Seep Monitoring Using a Time Series of Co-Polarized Coherent SAR Measurements
In this study, coherent co-polarized synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) information is exploited for sea oil seep monitoring
purposes. A time series of 33 TerraSAR-X StripMap SAR
data, collected over a well-known oil seep in Gulf of Mexico, is exploited to analyze the influence of incidence angle and wind conditions on the co-polarized phase difference (CPD). Furthermore, the benefits of using phase information for oil seep observation are assessed. Experimental
results show that: i) incidence angle has a remarkable effect
in broadening/shrinking the CPD statistical distribution and,
ii) the CPD provides spatial information on the oil seep damping properties
