The paper summarizes results of many-year combined satellite monitoring conducted in aquatic areas of the Baltic and Caspian Seas. The monitoring was based on multi-sensor approach to the oil spills detection and their drift and spread prediction. The basic data were high resolution radar images obtained by advanced synthetic aperture radars on board Envisat and ERS-2 satellites of the European Space Agency. Remotely sensed data in visual and IR bands taken by sensors Envisat MERIS, Terra/Aqua MODIS and NOAA AVHRR nearly simultaneously with the ASAR images, are involved into consideration in order to reveal the information on the sea surface temperature and the meso-scale water dynamics. Data of scanning radiometers ETM+ and TM onboard the Landsat 7 and Landsat 5 satellites were additionally used. The large amount of the available data has allowed us to make some generalizations and obtain statistically reliable results on spatial and temporal variability of different films manifestations in SAR images of the sea surface.
Keywords: satellite monitoring, satellite radar imagery, oil pollution, oil spills, ecology, Russian Seas, the Baltic Sea, the Caspian Sea, sea surface, mud volcanoes
