Description: Das Projekt "European marginal seas -a study of polution monitoring from space" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Universität Hamburg, Zentrum für Meeres- und Klimaforschung, Institut für Meereskunde (IfM) durchgeführt. General Information: This is a proposal to co-ordinate the work of a number of major European research centres in a programme designed to evaluate the contribution that present and future satellite surveillance systems can make to the monitoring of marine pollution. The approach is to make systematic measurements over 3 coastal zones - one in the Mediterranean, one in the southern North Sea and one in the Baltic. Previous experience has shown that oil slicks, effluent discharges and algal blooms can be detected by satellite-borne synthetic aperture radar, by infra-red and by colour sensors. The objective of this programme is to quantify the effectiveness of these sensors, acting singly or in concert, by repeating the observations at least every 35 days (the present repeat pattern of ERS 1 and 2) over a period of 2 years and possibly longer. Every effort will be made to gather all relevant meteorological and oceanographic data over the selected sites so that a much greater understanding of the conditions under which surface features can be imaged will be built up. Contact is being made with the responsible national authorities who presently maintain a programme of coastal surveillance largely through aircraft patrols, and we will seek to co-ordinate our programme with their activities. This proposal to bring together major remote sensing centres in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden and the UK is being made in direct response to the Ministerial decision of the Council of Europe to award high priority to evaluating the potential usefulness of current EO technology to the monitoring and reduction of environmental risks such as floods, fire, earthquake - and marine pollution. Prime Contractor: Satellite Observing Systems Ltd, Camberley; United Kingdom.
