Repair Wind Field of Oil Spill Regional Using SAR Data

Abstract

In this paper, we compared the normalized radar cross section (NRCS) of the synthetic aperture radar in the cases of oil spill and clean sea areas with image samples and determined their thresholds of the NRCS of SAR. we used the NRCS of clean water from the adjacent patches spill area to replace NRCS of oil spill area and retrieval wind field by CMOD5.N and comparison of wind velocity mending of oil spill with Model data the root mean square of wind speed and wind direction inversion are 0.89m/s and 20.26°satisfactory results, respectively. Therefore, after the occurrence not large scale oil spill, the real wind field could be restored by this method.
