Title
Operational Applications Of Radarsat-2 For The Environmental Monitoring Of Oil Slicks In The Southern Gulf Of Mexico
Abstract
PEMEX has used RADARSAT-1 operationally for the environmental monitoring of oil slicks in the Southern Gulf of Mexico for almost a decade (2000 -2008) In this time RADARSAT-1 data has become fully integrated into PEMEX's environmental response strategy To move towards the future; PEMEX decided to transition to RADARSAT-2 when the data became commercially available in April 2008. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the steps made in the move from RADARSAT-1 to RADARSAT-2 and how the advanced capabilities of RADARSAT-2 have improved operational processes.
