Aerial Observation of oil spills at sea/Воздушное наблюдение за разливами нефти в море

Книга на английском языке
This resulting operational guide was developed from the original Centre of Documentation, Research and Experiment’s (Cedre’s) Aerial Observation of Oil Pollution at Sea Operational Guide and represents a consensus of industry and government viewpoints, evaluated through the review process of the OPRC-HNS Technical Group of the IMO MEPC, Cedre and the IPIECA Oil Spill Working Group. The guide is intended for use by those involved in the aerial observation of oil pollution at sea and those working in pollution response centres, as well as technical support for public relations personnel.
