Russia: ScanEx has completed the project for satellite monitoring of oil pollution in the North Caspian. The project goal was to detect pollution and identify possible pollution sources on the surface of the North Caspian with petroleum products.
Based on the geospatial distribution analysis of detected oil pollution of sea surface the most polluted area is the Astrakhan sea anchorage. It is connected by traffic routes with the Caspian basin seaports. Significant pollution level was detected along the traffic routes around the Tyub-Karagan Peninsula connecting Kazakhstan ports with the Astrakhan sea anchorage and Makhachkala as well as those running around the Tuyleni Island in the Kazakhstan sector.
The domestic network-based technology of multi-satellite monitoring ScanNet was applied on this project. The primary technology components were as follows:
— High acquisition frequency (1 session per 2 days in average) achieved through the use of two satellites with onboard radar sensors RADARSAT-1 (Canada) and ENVISAT-1 (European Space Agency);
— Arrangement of direct reception of satellite images in Russia and their computerised processing in near real time mode;
— prompt product delivery to the requestor via the web-service.
In addition, to ensure high frequency of the North Caspian offshore monitoring the project utilised optical multi-spectral images from Terra and Aqua, Landsat-5 (USA) as well as high detail imagery of EROS-A/B (Israel). In particular Landsat-5 data were used for nature identification of certain slicks and for validation of oil slick presence in the radar images.
