  • METHOD AND SYSTEM USING COORDINATED AIRBORNE AND GROUND PLATFORMS FOR DETECTING OIL COVERED BY ICE
    Publication number: 20140159936
    Abstract: A method for detecting an oil mass covered by ice includes collecting alert data at a first probability of detection using an airborne platform moved about a search area above the ice. An alert area having a likelihood of an oil mass covered by the ice is determined based upon the alert data. Confirmation data is collected at a second probability of detection higher than the first probability of detection using a ground platform moved over the alert area. An oil mass covered by the ice is detected based upon the confirmation data.

  • METHOD AND SYSTEM USING RADIOMETRIC VOLUMETRIC DATA FOR DETECTING OIL COVERED BY ICE
    Publication number: 20140159938
    Abstract: A method for detecting an oil mass covered by ice includes collecting radiometric data different frequencies, corresponding to respective different depths into the ice, using at least one airborne platform moved about a search area above the ice so that the radiometric data defines radiometric volumetric data. The radiometric volumetric data is processed to thereby detect an oil mass covered by the ice.
