An inverse planned oil release validation method for estimating oil slick thickness from thermal contrast remote sensing by in-scene calibration

This study demonstrates a method to estimate floating oil slick thickness based on remote sensing of thermal infrared contrast. The approach was demonstrated for thick oil slicks from natural seeps in the Coal Oil Point seep field, offshore southern California. Airborne thermal infrared and visible...
