Imagery for Requested MPSR

Description

The Satellite Analysis Branch (SAB) of NOAA/NESDIS detects oil slicks in satellite imagery over U.S. waters (and international waters when requested by OR&R) in order to meet the NOAA Office of Response & Restoration (OR&R) need for oil spill information. The Marine Pollution Surveillance Report (MPSR) are typically issued by SAB satellite analysts when accidental or intentional marine oil spills are detected in imagery, but in this case a MPSR was specifically requested by OR&R for an area of a known oil spill. The report consists of manual detection and mapping of oil slicks primarily through the use of available moderate to high resolution satellite imagery, which can range from public to private sources. Imagery typically includes one or some of the 7 following satellite sources: VIIRS, MODIS, Aster, Landsat, Sentinel, Radarsat-2, Worldview. Please see the links to these imagery sources in the URL section below, and the use constraints and licensing information in the child items section below.
