Abstract
Natural submarine oil seeps in the Santa Barbara Channel, California, were detected by the first Shuttle Imaging Radar (SIR-A). Oil slicks on the ocean are seen in radar imagery as areas of decreased radar signal return that result from a damping of surface roughness. Orbital radar imagery shows promise as an effective and efficient means of mapping submarine oil seeps as sources of naturally occurring oil slicks.
