In Mexico: They will identify hydrocarbon spills through analysis of satellite images


Researchers from CENIT2 (Nayarita Center for Innovation and Technology Transfer) of the Autonomous University of Nayarit (UAN) will analyze the rivers of Nayarit, using software that uses satellite images, to identify possible spills of hydrocarbons in the Gulf of Mexico. The software called ARTMOS (Automated Radiative Transfer Models Operator) generates algorithms from biophysical parameters and identifies the differences between a spot and oceanic water. It is a free tool and is available in http://ipl.uv.es/artmo/
