A Polsar Approach to Observe Oil Rigs in Gulf of Mexico
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, an innovative physically-based approach, making use of full-polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data, has been developed together with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), to observe oil rigs in Gulf of Mexico. The approach exploits the target symmetry properties to distinguish natural surface scattering from man-made target scattering.

O il rig workers know the dangers presented by their jobs. Most, fortunately, do not experience the trauma faced by their brethren on the Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico. However, lacerations, sprains, fractures, and minor injuries come with the territory, and despite their remote locations, oil workers are not immune to upper respiratory infections, kidney stones, heart attacks, or oth...

Red beds, conglomerates and salt were considered azoic and problematic rocks, but Paleopalynology and Inorganic Geochemistry proved to be useful for placing them in time and space. In the early last century, in Mexican NE region, only three Mesozoic red bed units were differentiated, dated as Late Triassic to Late Jurassic. It was important tratigraphically to place them properly as they were c...

متن کاملDiet and trophic level of scalloped hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini) from the Gulf of California and Gulf of Tehuantepec, Mexico
We examined the diet and trophic level of Sphyrna lewini in the Gulf of California (GC) during 2001 and in the Gulf of Tehuantepec (GT) during 2005 using data from stomach content and stable isotope analysis of δ15N and δ13C. S. lewini diet was represented by pelagic and benthic prey species where the most important in weight was Scomber japonicus (27.70±4.54%) in GC, while in GT it was Auxis s...
