The Barents Sea (1) and Kara Sea (2) are relatively clean areas with little ship traffic and offshore exploration has just started. The areas are expected to become much more exposed to oil pollution in the future.
The Black Sea (3) and the Caspian Sea (4) have already significant tanker traffic and offshore exploitation has started from several platforms

NRCS profile across a slick observed in ASAR APP data
Results from SAR analysis of AP images form 2003:
The largest slick has a contrast of about 15 dB compared to the surrounding clean water
-
Subset of ENVISAT ASAR AP image on 23 August 2003 off Novorossisk coast:
(a) VV-pol
(b) HH-pol
(c) Pol ratio (PR)
For clean seas PR is defined by contribution of bragg scattering and wave breaking, with typical value of 5 for this inc angle. In slicks bragg waves disappear and PR becomes close to 1

Distribution of oil spills in the Black Sea derived from 68 SAR images
SAR images from ERS-2 and ENVISAT were analyzed for a period of three years (2001 - 2004), resulting in 68 images with 424 likely oil spill events.
The distribution of the spills are concentrated along the main shipping lanes and in the offshore drilling area in the western Black Sea
-
Example from the Caspian Sea
• The ASAR Wideswath image from 04 July 2007 covers most of the Caspian Sea (left figure). A subset of the image (above) was analyzed for the area off Baku (red circle) where a spill event could be detected. The SARTool provided by BOOST Technologies was used to detect and quantify the oil spill area.

AARI is developing an oil drift model, OilMARS, based on the components shown in the diagram. The model has been tested in the Barents and Kara Seas.
-
Oil spill modelling in Kara Sea: open water• AARI uses its oil
spill model OilMARS to simulate oil drift in the Kara Sea. The figures show the spreading of a spill over a period of 20 days. The red area indicate where oil reached the coast and caused pollution at the beach.
-
Oil spill modelling in Kara Sea: sea ice waters• AARI uses its oil spill
model Oilmars to simulate oil drift in the Kara Sea. The figures show the spreading of a spill over a period of 20 days in winter when the sea ice ice-covered. Black indicates oil spill in open water, blue indicate oil spill on top of th eice and red is oil spill under the ice.
-
Summary and further work• Radar scattering modelling tools is ready for use• Field experiments with artificial oil spills at the tower in the Black Sea were
performed in 2007, more experiments are planned in 2008• Lab experiments with radar observation of wave damping by various oil
types have been conducted• Build-up of SAR data base for the study regions have started, primarily
with ASAR data. Will be supplemented by other SAR data (X- and L-band)• Analysis of SAR data for slick and other ocean surface features, including
comparison with models has started• Verify hypothesis that PR can be used to identify oil and natural slicks and
discriminate them from look-alikes• Establish monitoring scheme using satellite data in combination with
models and in situ data for validation
