| Abstract | Visible and infrared (IR) imagery taken by the Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) aboard the NOAA polar-orbiting satellites, and in-situ data from aircraft and field observations are used to examine oil spills during the 1991 Persian Gulf War. In AVHRR IR imagery from January 19 to February 10, 1991, several "hot spots" were detected in the vicinity of the center of the larger oil spill regions. These "hot spots", with apparent IR-skin temperatures of about 2-4/spl deg/C above the surrounding sea surface temperature (SST) in daytime, were embedded in a region with IR temperatures 1-3/spl deg/C below the surrounding SST. This is consistent with previous laboratory IR observations of varying oil layer thickness. The "hot spots" weakened and disappeared at night. The IR oil spill signal became very weak after February 15. Only under favorable ocean and weather conditions did the AVHRR visible channel show patches of contrasting albedos in the oil spill regions. Using specialized image enhancements, thick and thin oil layers and the oil/water boundary in the IR imagery could be inferred. The IR-detected oil spill areas corroborated well with surface observations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
