The SLAR-system demonstrates its ability to detect and image oil slicks even on a smooth water surface. The received radar backscatter as a function of surface roughness and angle of incidence fluctuates considerably, so the probability to detect oil slicks increases by using steeper depression angles than normal to obtain a large swath width. An important tool to improve the accuracy of classification is the data correction algorithm. The classification quality strongly depends on viewing direction (best perpendicular to the waves) and on the sea state. As expected VV-polarization is the preferable solution for oil slick monitoring with a SLAR. 收起
