OSTI ID:5915871

The bibliography contains citations concerning the use of remote sensing to investigate ocean pollution, including oil pollution and ocean dumping. Remote sensing techniques include laser fluorescence, radar scattering, aerial and spaceborne photography, microwave imagery, thermal mapping, and infrared scanning. Applications include identification and mapping of oil slicks, identification of coastal outflow plumes, the monitoring of ocean dumping, the monitoring of biological blooms associated with nitrogenous pollution, and sewage dumping. Instrumentation, photointerpretation, and image enhancement applied to pollution monitoring are included. Remote sensing applied to air pollution detection is discussed in a separate bibliography.
