The main goal of this research was to detect oil spills, to determine the oil spill frequencies and to approximate oil leak sources around the Oil Rocks Settlement, the Chilov and Pirallahi Islands in the Caspian Sea using 136 multi-temporal Envisat ASAR Wide Swath Medium Resolution images acquired during 2006-2010.
Two downtimes of the Sentinel-1 Scientific Data Hub are foreseen during Week 14 of 2015. The first downtime will occur on Monday 30 March from 09:00-13:00 CET to perform infrastructure maintenance. The second downtime will occur on Wednesday 1 April from 08:00-16:00 CET for an upgrade of the data hub software configuration.
Scientists are making advances in the use of satellite radar data - such as those from the Sentinel-1 mission - to monitor Earth's changing surface.
Calling on all interested users of Sentinel data, who would like to submit their results, turning their experiences into 'success stories'.
If you have a good story to tell, of how any of the Sentinel satellites are producing data that bring benefit to your work and/or to society, please contact the Sentinel Online Editors at: contentmatters4sentinelonline@ejr-quartz.com with your proposals.
