The results of satellite monitoring of oil pollution in the Southeastern Baltic Sea in 2006-2009 are discussed in the paper. Interannual and seasonal variability of oil pollution was investigated. An example of oil spill drift forecast based on the Seatrack Web numerical model of Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute is shown. Field observations of oil pollution in the coastal zone confirm the numerical model forecast.
Keywords: The Baltic Sea, ASAR/SAR imagery, oil pollution, interannual and seasonal variability of oil pollution, oil spill drift forecast
