[Abstract]

鐔￥宗Remote sensing with satellite imageries were applied to the environmental monitoring around Percian Gulf to evaluate the damage caused by the Gulf War. Smoke palls from burning oil fields were detected by NOAA/AVHRR imageries and the extent of the damaged areas was evaluated. Also, the floating oil spills released from the destroyed oil tanks were detected by LANDSAT TM imageries. Vegetation, soil and water conditions affected by the released oil spill and the smoke palls were evaluated by using satellite imageries and by spectral signature data measured on the ground.
