1.气候和气象(meteorology)专家日前称,受气候变化的影响,北半球(the northern hemisphere)温带(temperate)地区的人们过“白色圣诞”的机会在过去一个世纪中越来越少。
而且这个机会在2100年之前会进一步减少。
托下大雪的福,今年亚洲、欧洲和北美洲很多地区的人们能过一个“白色圣诞”了,但现实的状况是,全球平均气温自1900年以来上升了0.7摄氏度,并将于2100年前出现更大幅度的上升,这一事实预示了一个不可改变的趋势。
气象研究者们曾说过:“与50年前相比,踩着厚厚的积雪过圣诞的机会已经少了很多,到本世纪下半叶,这样的圣诞节就更稀罕了。
”The experts on climate and meteorology said that affected by climate change, people in temperate parts of the northern hemisphere have less and less chance of a “white Christmas” and the chance will further decrease/ diminish /reduce/drop/fall by 2100.The odds of a “white Christmas ” in temperate parts of the northern hemisphere have diminished in the last century due to climate change and will likely decline further by 2100 ,climate and meteorology experts said . With the help of/Owing to/Thanks to the heavy snow this year , the people in most areas of Asia ,Europe and North America can enjoy a white Christmas .However ,in fact ,the average temperate all over the world has increased by 0.7℃since1900 and a bigger rise is predicted/it may have a bigger rise by 2100,which suggests an unchangeable/inexorable trend . “compared with 50 years ago , the chance of spending with white snow has diminished largely and it will be even more rare until the latter half of the century “,the researchers on climate have been quoted as saying/some climate reseachers have been quoted as saying “The probability of heavy snow on the ground at Christmas is already much lower than it was 50 years ago but it will become an even greater rarity by the latter half of the century”.2. 路上只我一个人,背着手踱着。
BBC新闻讲解附字幕:埃及法院裁定剥夺娶以色列妻子者国籍(2010-06-8)第一部分:听力文本BBC News with Kathy Clugston.An Irish-owned ship that was trying to break through the Israeli blockade of Gaza has beendivert ed to the Port of Ashdod.Israeli forces who boarded it about30kilometres off the coast said they faced no resistance.The ship,the Rachel Corrie,was supposed to have been the7th in the flotilla which was stormed by Israeli forces on Monday when at least nine activists were killed. It’s now being searched by the Israeli police.There's been no communication with any of the pro-Palestinian campaigners on board.Andrew North reports from Ashdod.Eleven activists including a former Nobel Peace Prize winner and nine crew are being questioned. It’s not yet clear what will happen to them,but the expectation is they will eventually be released. The Israeli government will be relieved that it was able to stop this latest effort to break its blockade of Gaza peacefully and its people are firmly behind it,but it’s looking increasingly isolated worldwide,with even its American ally saying the blockade of Gaza is unsustainable.The Supreme Administrative Court in Egypt has upheld a ruling that Egyptian men married to Israelis should be stripped of their citizenship.The case is being viewed as a sign of the negative feeling against Israel in Egypt,with which it has had a peace treaty for more than30years.From Cairo,Yolande Knell reports.The judge in the Supreme Administrative Court said that the interior ministry must give the cabinet details of all Egyptian men married to Jewish Israelis and Arab Israelis.Each file will be considered separately,but steps can be taken to remove their Egyptian nationality and that of their children.The lawyer who brought the case said the offspring of such marriages should not be allowed to perform military service.He added that his aim was to protect young Egyptians and national security.The US Coast Guard official leading the operation to contain the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico says BP’s new operation is doing better than initial estimates.Admiral Thad Allen says at least a third of the oil leaking from the broken well has been captured in the past24hours.Madeleine Morris reports from New Orleans.Admiral Thad Allen says BP hopes to increase the amount it’s capturing over the next a few days, after the company has a better idea of the oil’s pressure and rate of flow.He had bad news though from Mississippi,Alabama and Florida-suddenly winds are pushing the slick towards the shoreline of those states whose beaches have untill now escaped the brunt of the oil.A new technique for treating breast cancer could in the future eliminate the need for weeks of radiotherapy.An international study trial published in the medical journal,the Lancet,suggests that giving one dose of radiotherapy inside the breast during surgery is just as effective at preventing cancer recurring as weeks of external radiotherapy.2000women across9countries took part in the study.World News from the BBC.Pakistan has announced it’s to increase defence spending by17%in the coming year,with analysts saying much of it will be used to combat Islamic militants.In his budget speech to parliament,the Finance Minister Abdul Hafeez Shaikh said the security forces who were prepared to lay down their lives should know they had the support of parliament.Defence spending will rise to more than$5billion a year from next month.The environmental organisation,the Blacksmith Institute,has warned that hundreds of Nigerian children could die from lead poisoning in the northern state of Zamfara,where residents have been digging illegally for gold.The warning comes a day after Nigerian officials confirmed that lead contamination had killed163people,mostly children,in the region this year.Jonny Hogg reports.The Blacksmith Institute has tested children in the affected villages.Its president,Richard Fuller, told the BBC that hundreds of them have such high levels of lead in their blood that they are likely to die in the near future.Health workers in the Nigerian government providing treatment to the victims and some parts of the affected villages have already been evacuate d.Mr Fuller says the poisoning occurred after women brought metal ore back to their houses to process into gold.A storm that's hit Oman over the past2days has killed16people and left4others missing. Tropical Cyclone Phet produced winds of more than150kilometres an hour,as well as heavy rain that knocked out power and communications in the east of the country and the capital Muscat.Oil exports also had to be suspended from Oman’s main port,but as the storm has since weakened, they’ve now resume d.The Italian tennis player Francesca Schiavone has become the first woman from her country to win a Grand Slam singles title.Schiavone won the French Open championship in Paris,defeating Samantha Stosur of Australia in straight sets6-4,7-6.BBC News.提示:文本转自普特听力论坛第二部分:参考翻译一艘试图冲破以色列对加沙地带封锁线的爱尔兰船只被转移到阿什杜德港口。
OilDeposits(油⽥)(DFS)题⽬:The GeoSurvComp geologic survey company is responsible for detecting underground oil deposits. GeoSurvCompworkswithonelargerectangularregionoflandatatime,andcreatesagridthatdivides the land into numerous square plots.It then analyzes each plot separately, using sensing equipment to determine whether or not the plot contains oil.A plot containing oil is called a pocket. If two pockets are adjacent, then they are part of the same oil deposit.Oil deposits can be quite large and may contain numerous pockets. Your job is to determine how many different oil deposits are contained in a grid.InputThe input file containsone or more grids. Each grid begins with a line containing m and n, the number of rows and columns in the grid, separated by a single space. If m = 0 it signals the end of the input; otherwise 1 ≤ m ≤ 100 and 1 ≤ n ≤ 100. Following this are m lines of n characters each (not counting the end-of-line characters). Each character corresponds to one plot, and is either ‘*’, representing the absence of oil, or ‘@’, representing an oil pocket. OutputFor each grid, output the number of distinct oil deposits. Two different pockets are part of the same oil deposit if they are adjacent horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. An oil deposit will not contain more than 100 pockets.Sample Input1 1*3 5*@*@***@***@*@*1 8@@****@*5 5****@*@@*@*@**@@@@*@@@**@0 0Sample Output0 1 2 2题意:和迷宫的输⼊差不多,‘*’是墙,‘@’是油⽥,以⼀个油⽥为中⼼,如果它的东南西北⼀个各个⾓落,⼀共⼋个⽅向也有油⽥的话,这些油⽥就算作⼀个油⽥。

Jun.14·2020Russia declares emergency after Arctic oil spillPresident Vladimir Putin of Russia has declared a state of emergency in a region in northern Siberia after a huge oil spill turned a river crimson and threatened to inflict significant damage to the Arctic environment.More than20,000tons of diesel leaked into the Ambarnaya River near the city of Norilsk last Friday,after a fuel tank collapsed at a power plant.Norilsk Nickel,which owns the plant,said in a statement that thawing permafrost had caused one of the tank's pillars to collapse.The oil leaked more than7miles from the site. The accident is one of the biggest oil spills in modern Russian history,Aleksei Knizhnikov of the environmentalist group WWF Russia said.Putin said he had been angered that he had learned of the spill only on Sunday,and,after declaring the state of emergency on Wednesday,denounced company officials in a videoconference that was broadcast live."Why did government agencies only find out about this two days after the fact?"Putin said."Are we going to learn about emergency situations from social media?"Putin said he would ask investigators to look into the spill to make a clear assessment of how officials reacted to the accident.Norilsk Nickel,along with the Russian Emergency Situations Ministry, dispatched hundreds of personnel to clean up the mess.So far, Norilsk Nickel said,they had managed to gather up only around340 tons of the oil."The incident led to catastrophic consequences,and we will be seeing the repercussions for years to come,"Sergey Verkhovets, coordinator of Arctic projects for WWF Russia,said in a statement."We are talking about dead fish,polluted plumage of birds and poisoned animals."主编:Eein品控:Lala审核:PitaMarine Rescue Service/Handout via REUTERS完成学习2020年6月14日超2万吨柴油泄漏,北极圈河流变“红海”今日导读最近,邻国俄罗斯暴发了一场环境危机:在位于北极圈以北250英里的诺里尔斯克市(Norilsk),一家热电厂发生柴油泄漏事故,约有两万吨的柴油流入了附近河道及土壤;亚北极地区的河流表面,如今是肉眼可见的一片血色。
Oil Spill Detection in Northern European Waters: Approaches and AlgorithmsAnne H.S. Solberg 1, 2 and Camilla Brekke 1, 31 Department of Informatics, University of Oslo, Oslo, Norway2also at Norwegian Computing Center, Oslo, Norway 3 also at Norwegian Defence Research Establishment, Kjeller, Norway Abstract. The combined use of satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and aircraft surveillance flights is a cost-effective way to monitor deliberate oil spills in large ocean areas and catch the polluters. SAR images enable covering large areas, but aircraft observations are needed to prosecute the polluter, and in certain cases to verify the oil spill. We discuss the limitations of satellite imaging of oil spills compared to aircraft monitoring. Automatic detection of oil spills has proven to be an interesting complement to manual detection. We present an overview of algorithms for automatic detection, and discuss their potential compared to manual inspection as part of an operational oil spill detection framework. Experimental results show that automatic algorithms can perform compa-oil spills, false alarm ratio, and they can also speed up the image analysis process compared to fully manual services.1. IntroductionMarine pollution arising from illegal oily discharges from ships represents a serious threat to the marine environment. Oil pollution caused by large accidents like the Prestige event in 2002 capture many headlines, but the majority of the oil pollution cases are caused by operational discharges from tankers. Observed oil spills commonly appear in connection with off-shore installations and correlate well with major shipping routes. A combi-nation of aircraft and satellite sensors are currently used to monitor large ocean areas to detect oil spills and catch the polluter. The inclusion of sat-spill surveillance and to cover larger areas.ellite surveillance allows the user to better target the aircrafts used for oil rable to manual detection, both in terms of accuracy in detecting verified 359V.

Remote sensing sensors for oil spill detectionFor routine monitoring of illegal oil discharges from ships and offshore installations both aircraft sensors and satellite sensors can be used. Satellite-based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images can be used to screen large ocean areas, while aircrafts are more suitable to be brought into action to identify the polluter, the extent, and the type of spill.2.1 Aircraft sensorsMost surveillance aircrafts used for oil pollution monitoring in Europe are equipped with a combination of sensors: Side-Looking Airborne Radar (SLAR), infrared/ultraviolet (IR/UV), Laser Fluoro-Sensor (LFS), Micro-wave Radiometer (MWR). For an overview of aircraft sensors for oil spill detection, see (Goodman 1994; Trieschmann et al. 2003). SLAR is the main sensor for long-range detection of oil pollution on the sea surface. The SLAR is used to locate possible spill locations. Then the spill is ins-pected more closely using additional sensors and/or visual inspection. The sensor configuration used on board surveillance aircrafts varies from coun-try to country. An example is the German aerial surveillance, which lo-cates the oil spills by SLAR, IR/UV scanning is used to quantify the extent of the film, a MWR is used to quantify the thickness, and a LFS is used for oil type classification. The SLAR, IR, and LFS can operate at night. A number of different aircraft types are used for oil spill aerial surveillance. They differ in terms of endurance, cruising speed and SLAR sensor equip-ment resulting in different SLAR area coverage during one flight hour. One hour of airborne remote sensing over the sea at a speed of 335 km/h covers an area of 13400 km2 (Tufte et al. 2005).2.2 Satellite sensorsSAR is the main spaceborne remote sensing instrument for oil spill imag-ing, with all-weather and all-day operation capabilities, although it is not capable of oil spill thickness estimation and oil type recognition. The main limitation for spaceborne optical sensors is the need for daylight and cloud-free scenes, but they have a potential to discriminate between oil and algal blooms. A more detailed discussion of other satellite sensors for oil spill detection is given in (Brekke and Solberg 2005).SAR is particularly useful for searching large areas. Usually even small volumes of oil cover large areas and thus the need for very highOil Spill Detection in Northern European Waters 361spatial resolution in SAR images is not crucial. SAR has however some limitations, as a number of natural phenomena can produce similar dark objects in the SAR images (see Section 3).Currently, RADARSAT-1 and ENVISAT ASAR are the two main SAR sensors used for oil spill detection. The best trade-off between spatial cov-erage and spatial resolution is achieved using RADARSAT-1 ScanSAR and ENVISAT ASAR Wide Swath image modes. Table 1 describes the coverage and resolution of these sensors. The costs of satellite images are much lower than the costs of covering the same area by aircraft. The actual time that the satellite passes over a given location will vary with latitude, but the overflight will be fixed in time.ASAR products.RADARSAT-1 ScanSAR Narrow ENVISAT ASAR Wide SwathSpatial coverage per scene Spatial resolution per scene 300 km × 300 km 50 m × 50 m 400 km × 400 km 150 m × 150 mThe number of available RADARSAT-1 or ENVISAT ASAR images of a given area on a given date depends on the geographic latitude and the observation period. Daily coverage is possible in Northern Europe, and a coverage a couple of times a week is possible for all European waters.2.3 The advantages and limitations of satellite-based vs. aircraft monitoring are summarized in Table 2. In order to cover the same area as a RADARSAT-1 ScanSAR Narrow scene or an ENVISAT ASAR Wide Swath scene with an aircraft, 6 or 12 flight hours, respectively, are needed. A limitation with the satellite monitoring is that the images are taken at fixed times of the day. The fate and persistence of oil in seawater are controlled by processes that vary considerably in space and time. The amount of oil spilled, its initial physical and chemical characteristics, and the prevailing climatic and sea conditions have great impact on the lifetime of an oil spill. A reasonable as-sumption might be that most illegal oil discharges are bilge oil, i.e. a mixture of several kinds of oils (fuel oil, hydraulic oil, etc.). For instance, in the Fin-nish surveillance area it is estimated that 1–5 percent of the detected slicks persists only some hours (Tufte et al. 2005). To cover oil spills occurring at Satellite vs. aircraft – advantages/limitationsTable 1. Coverage and resolution for selected RADARSAT-1 and ENVISAT are thicker slicks that persist several days, and 95–99% are bilge oil that362 A.H.S. Solberg and C.

Limited to certain weather conditions.3. SAR imaging of oil spillsOil spills dampen the Bragg waves (wavelength of a few cm) on the ocean surface and reduce the radar backscatter coefficient. This results in dark regions or dark spots in a satellite SAR image. A part of the oil spill detec-tion problem is to distinguish oil spills from other natural phenomena that dampen the short waves and create dark patches on the surface. Natural dark patches are termed oil spills look-alikes. Oil spills include all oil re-lated surface films caused by oil spills from oilrigs, leaking pipelines, pass-ing vessels as well as bottom seepages, while look-alikes include natural films/slicks, grease ice, threshold wind speed areas, wind sheltering by land, rain cells, shear zones, internal waves etc.A service for oil spill detection based on SAR images must contain an oil spill detection step where the SAR images are analyzed, and dark re-gions that might be oil spills are identified. In this process, the factors that can be used to discriminate between an oil spill and a look-alike are impor-and provide larger damping to the surrounding sea than natural films (Hovland et al. 1994). A newly released oil spill will have reasonably sharp borders to the surrounding sea. As the weathering effects the spill, the borders can become more fuzzy. The shape will be altered by wind and current. Depending on the source of the outlet, certain shapes of the oil spills can be expected. Oil spills from moving ships are thin, linear ortant. Due to higher viscosity, oil spills tend to remain more concentrated High accuracy of oil spill detection. Can identify polluter.

This is in particular a problem in the Baltic Sea, where a certain algae type that dampens the Bragg waves is common during the summer season. If additional information from e.g. ocean color sensors is available, it can be used to identify algae.The wind speed is also important for imaging of oil spills. With very low wind, no backscatter from the sea surface will be seen. Look-alikes are very frequently observed in low to moderate wind conditions (approxi-mately 3 to 7 m/s). As the wind speed increases, the expected number of look-alikes will be lower. For oil spills, the contrast between the spill and the surrounding sea will decrease with higher wind speeds. At high wind speeds (>10 m/s) only larger slicks with thicker oil will be visible. The up-per limit for observing oil in the SAR image is not known exactly. In an operational oil spill detection service at Kongsberg Satellite Services (KSAT) in Tromsø, Norway, an upper limit of 15 m/s is used.4. SAR oil spill detection: manual vs. automaticOil spills in a SAR image can be identified by manual inspection, or the image can first be screened by an automatic algorithm for oil spill detec-tion, followed by manual inspection of the suspect alarms only. Manual interpretation of e.g. a 400 km × 400 km ENVISAT ASAR image can be a complex and time consuming task because the image is so large that the operator can only view a small part of the scene at a time to be able to de-tect thin oil spills. Recent benchmarks (Indregard et al. 2004; Solberg et al. 2006) comparing automatic algorithms to manual detection shows that an automatic algorithm can be a valuable tool when a large number of images are to be inspected.4.1 Manual oil spill detectionA well-established operational service for oil spill detection is run at KSAT. Trained operators detect oil spills by inspecting the SAR images. In addition to the image, they can use external information about wind speed and direc-tion, oil rig/pipeline location, national territory borders and coast lines. After a possible oil spill has been detected, it is assigned confidence level low, medium or high based on a certain set of rules (Indregard et al. 2004).364 A.H.S. Solberg and C. Brekke4.2 Automatic approachesA literature review of automatic techniques for oil spill detection in SAR images can be found in Brekke and Solberg (2005 ). In this section we give a short update on the state-of-the-art in this field.Several of the published papers on oil spill algorithms for SAR images (e.g. Fiscella et al. 2000; Del Frate et al. 2000; Solberg et al. 1999, 2006) describe a methodology consisting of dark spot detection followed by fea-ture extraction and a classification step (see Figure 1).Fig. 1. A framework for oil spill detection algorithms.Segmentation techniquesAs oil spills are characterized by low backscattering levels, the use of thresholding for dark spot segmentation is commonly applied (see e.g. Keramitsoglou et al. 2006; Solberg et al. 1999; Brekke and Solberg 2005). As SAR images tend to become darker with increasing range and as local variations in the wind level and other meteorological and oceanic condi-tions occur, thresholding algorithms where the threshold is set adaptively based on local statistical estimates should be preferred.Dark spot feature extractionDiscrimination between oil spills and look-alikes are often based on a number of features computed for each suspicious dark spot on the sea sur-face (see e.g. Topouzelis et al. 2002; Solberg et al. 1999; Brekke and Sol-berg 2006; Del Frate et al. 2000; Fiscella et al. 2000).Good features are very important for the success of the following classi-fication step. Most of the features applied in the literature are covered by the following types:• the geometry and shape of the dark spot;The location of detected oil spills and their confidence level is then immediatelysent to the surveillance aircrafts.Oil Spill Detection in Northern European Waters 365 •the physical characteristics of the backscatter level of the dark spot and its surroundings;•the dark spot contextual features;•the texture features of both the dark spot and the surroundings.Slick classificationThe purpose of the classification step is to distinguish oil spills from look-alikes. How difficult the classification task is depends on the variability in the feature values for objects in the oil spill class relative to the difference between feature values for objects in the look-alike class. Effective methods for developing classifiers involve learning from example patterns (training). In statistical approaches, the classification decision is based on the probabil-ity and the cost of a certain decision (e.g. Solberg et al. 1999; Brekke and Solberg 2007; Brekke et al. 2007).Various classifiers have been applied to the oil spill detection problem (Fiscella et al. 2000; Nirchio et al. 2005; Del Frate et al. 2000; Keramitso-glou et al. 2006). All detection algorithms suffer from false alarms, and dark spots classified as oil spills may be confused with look-alikes (e.g. natural film and low wind areas). Applying external data to improve classification and assess the slick nature has been suggested. Girard-Ardhuin et al. (2005) combines characteristics of the detected dark spots from the SAR images and meteorological and oceanic data through a multi-sensor approach (in-cluding information about surface wind measurements, sea-surface tempera-ture, atmospheric fronts and clouds and chlorophyll).5. A benchmark study of oil spill detection approaches As part of the EC project Oceanides, a benchmark study comparing oil spill recognition approaches was performed. Manual oil spill detection based on SAR images was compared to semi-automatic and automatic ap-proaches. A joint satellite-airborne campaign was performed during 2003. The campaign covered the Finnish and German sectors of the Baltic Sea, in addition to the German sector of the North Sea. The campaign was or-ganized in such a way that a trained operator at KSAT (KSAT1) analyzed the SAR images, and reported possible oil spills to the Finnish and German pollution control authorities. They would check the positions and verify the slicks, and report additional slicks found by the aircraft. This was done for both ENVISAT and RADARSAT-1 images.366 A.H.S. Solberg and C. BrekkeCenter (NR) (Solberg et al. 2006) was used to analyze all images without knowing aircraft detections or KSAT results. Figure 2 shows examples of correctly classified oil spills, false alarms, and slicks detected only by aircraft.Examples of false alarms. The slick in the image on the left was verified as algae, while the clearly suspect dark spot in the right image could not be found when the aircraft inspectedthe position (possibly resolved).For benchmark comparisons, KSAT let another operator (KSAT2) inspect the same SAR images without knowing the aircraft detections or the automatic oil spill detection approach developed at Norwegian Computingresult of the previous inspection to study the inter-operator variance. The ESA/KSAT/NR.© Fig. 2. ENVISAT images with examples of oil spills and false alarms.Oil Spill Detection in Northern European Waters 367 The benchmark data set contained 27 ENVISAT images and 32 RADARSAT-1 images. The real-time inspection of the ENVISAT images at KSAT (KSAT1) detected 11 oil spills that were verified as oil spills by the aircraft. The repeated inspection by another operator, KSAT2, detected 8 of these verified slicks, the automatic algorithm (NR) also detected 8 of the verified slicks. For RADARSAT-1 data, there was 18 verified oil spills, KSAT2 found 15 of these, while the NR algorithm found 14.This demonstrates that the inter-operator variance was significant. KSAT has later taken measures to reduce this variability by increasing op-erator training and harmonising the interpretation process. The perform-ance of the NR algorithm is also almost comparable to KSAT2, so it can be a valuable alternative or supplement to manual inspection.It is also of interest to study additional slicks reported by the aircraft, but not detected from satellite image analysis. In general, these slicks involved a small amount of oil. For some of them, the time of aircraft pass was sev-eral hours after the satellite image acquisition, so the release could be new. For other cases, the satellite image was taken several hours after the air-craft pass, and a small amount of oil could very well be resolved during this time period.The number of false alarms, the number of slicks reported by satellite, but verified as not oil by the aircraft, was also studied. All false alarms are discussed in detail in (Indregard et al. 2004). Some linear slicks with good contrast were detected in the satellite image but verified as algae.The confidence levels that are associated with reported possible oil spills from KSAT can be used by the surveillance aircraft crew to prioritize which oil spill positions they will inspect first. Slicks that were assigned confidence level High had very low false alarm ratio, slicks that were assigned confi-dence Medium had reasonably low false alarm ratio, while slicks that were assigned confidence Low had relatively high false alarm ratio (again the de-tails can be found in (Indregard et al. 2004). However, the confidence as-signed by two different operators at KSAT varied. The automatic algorithm can also be used to compute confidence levels using a set of rules that simu-late the rules used by the operators at KSAT (see Solberg 2005 for how this is done). By comparing the confidence levels assigned by two KSAT opera-tors and NR’s automatic algorithm on a set of 22 selected oil spills, it was found that KSAT1 and KSAT2 assigned the same confidence for 7 out of 22 slicks, while the algorithm and KSAT1 agreed for 13 of 22 slicks, and had a confidence level difference of one (indicating e.g. High vs. Medium) for six additional slicks. What this indicates is that there is still some subjectivity involved in confidence assignment, and using an algorithm to get a “second opinion” to use in confidence assignment might be valuable.368 A.H.S. Solberg and C. BrekkeThe processing time for manual inspection at KSAT varied between 3 and 25 minutes for RADARSAT-1 images, with an average of 9 minutes. The automatic algorithm had an average processing time of 3 minutes. For ENVISAT images, the average time for manual inspection at KSAT was 10 minutes, while the automatic algorithm had an average processing time of 1.45 minutes.6. Discussion and conclusionsThe combined use of satellite-based SAR images and aircraft surveillance flights is a cost-effective way to monitor large areas and catch the pollut-ers. The coverage in terms of the number of weekly satellite passes of European waters is very good in Northern Europe and decent in the Medi-terranean.Oil spill detections from aircrafts and satellite images were compared in a benchmark study. In general, there were good agreement between aircraft detections and satellite-based detections when the time offset between the image acquisitions was low.Some information about oil spill statistics and hot spots exist, see e.g. (Bauna and Clayton 2004; Tufte et al. 2005). Hot spots coincide well with major shipping routes, pipelines, oil rigs etc. Tufte et al. (2005) discuss sampling requirements as guidelines for operational oil spill monitoring in European waters. They also summarize current monitoring efforts for many countries in Northern Europe, and their experience in using a com-bination of aerial- and satellite monitoring. The best approach for a spe-cific national authority depends on the size and shape of the area to be monitored, and other resources available. International cooperation with neighboring countries on planning satellite acquisitions and sharing costs is important.Many different techniques are proposed for automatic detection of oil spills. They often consist of three main parts: segmentation, feature extrac-tion and classification. However, there is still a challenge in reducing the number of false alarms, and automatically assigned confidence levels can be helpful in prioritizing the alarms. Interoperator variance in manual de-tection should be reduced by better training, or introducing the algorithm as a second information source. This applies to both detection and confi-dence assignment.Presently, one of the biggest challenges for operational oil spill de-tection services is obtaining sustainability in terms of data availability. SENTINEL-1 is a planned two-satellite system (C-band) to be operated asOil Spill Detection in Northern European Waters 369 a constellation for maximized coverage/repeat cycle. The first satellite will be launched in 2010 and the second some 12–15 months later (Attema 2005 ). RADARSAT-2 is a Canadian SAR satellite planned to be launc-hed in the summer of 2007. The SAR instrument will be C-band like RADARSAT-1, but there will be more flexibility in the selection of polarizations.AcknowledgementsThe authors would like to thank the Oceanides project, in particular Marte Indregard, Peter Clayton and Lars Tufte for contributions to the benchmark study on oil spill approaches.ReferencesAttema E (2005) Mission Requirements Document for the European Radar Obser-vatory Sentinel-1, Requirement Specification.
