چکیده

A new predicting system is presented in which the aim is to forecast the presence or not of oil slicks in a certain area of the open sea after an oil spill. In this case, the CBR methodology has been chosen to solve the problem. The system designed to predict the presence of oil slicks wraps other artificial intelligence techniques such as a Growing Radial Basis Function Networks, Growing Cell Structures and Fast Iterative Kernel Principal Components Analysis in order to develop the different phases of the CBR cycle. The proposed system uses information such as sea salinity, sea temperature, wind, currents, pressure, number and area of the slicks.... obtained from various satellites. The system has been trained using data obtained after the Prestige accident. Oil Spill CBR system (OSCBR) has been able to accurately predict the presence of oil slicks in the north west of the Galician coast, using historical

Enrichment of Fusobacteria in Sea Surface Oil Slicks from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill

The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill led to rapid microbial community shifts in the Gulf of Mexico, including the formation of unprecedented quantities of marine oil snow (MOS) and of a massive subsurface oil plume. The major taxa that bloomed in sea surface oil slicks during the spill included Cycloclasticus, and to a lesser extent Halomonas, Alteromonas, and Pseudoalteromonas-organisms that ...

Oil Spill Detection in Envisat Asar Images Using Radar Backscatter Thresholding and Logistic Regression Analysis

This paper presents a technique to detect oil spills in ENVISAT Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) images using radar backscatter thresholding and logistic regression analysis. We developed and tested this technique using 4 Envisat ASAR images that were acquired many days after the M/T Solar I oil spill incident occurred on August 11, 2006 in Panay Gulf, southwest of Guimaras Island in Vi...
