      A method for differentiating marine oil slicks from radar-dark, low wind areas in open water using rapid repeat SAR imagery is reported. The study uses data acquired by the airborne UAVSAR L-band SAR instrument, imaging the Coal Oil Point seep field near Santa Barbara, California. Time-series of images from three different days are analyzed, all containing both verified oil slicks and low wind zones. ...

      There is a wide consensus within the polar science, meteorology, and oceanography communities that more in situ observations of the ocean, atmosphere, and sea ice are required to further improve operational forecasting model skills. Traditionally, the volume of such measurements has been limited by the high cost of commercially available instruments. An increasingly attractive solution to this ...
