Oceanic oil spills present significant ecological risks that have the potential to contaminate
extensive areas, including coastal regions. The occurrence of the 2019 oil spill event in …

Sea ice albedo plays an important role in modulating the climate of Earth and is affected by
low background concentrations of oil droplets within the ice matrix that absorb solar …

The fluorescence distribution of the emulsified oil spills (water-in-oil and oil-in-water) on the
sea surface based on laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) is profoundly researched. First, the …

Remote sensing techniques currently used to detect oil spills have not yet demonstrated
their applicability to dispersed forms of oil. However, oil droplets dispersed in seawater are …

Coastal waters are the richest parts of ocean ecosystems characterised by dynamic changes
in water biology, physical and chemical features. Establishing local relationships between …

In the contrary to surface oil slicks, dispersed oil pollution is not yet detected or monitored on
regular basis. The possible range of changes of the local optical properties of seawater …

Seawater turbidity is a common water quality indicator measured in situ and estimated from
space on a regular basis. However, it is rarely correlated with the inherent optical properties …

We report on a pilot study using a CO 2 optode deployed on a Seaglider in the Norwegian
Sea for 8 months (March to October 2014). The optode measurements required drift-and lag …

This study is intended to be one of the first steps in assessing the feasibility of remote
sensing of dispersed oil in seawater. All optically active seawater constituents, including oil …

Information about polarization of light leaving the ocean surface has the potential to improve
the quality of bio-optical parameter retrieval from ocean color remote sensing (OCRS). This …
