ROGERS, BERESKIN & PARR INVENTION: REMOTE DETECTION OF HYDROCARBON SEEPS INVENTOR : ANTHONY R. BARRINGER ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method of detecting hydrocarbon seeps in a sea or in earth is disclosed. The method in- volves interrogating aerosols formed above the sea or earth surface with an intense beam of primary light radiation generated aboard an air- craft or other vehicle. The spectral composition of the beam is selected to induce secondary light radiation in certain hydrocarbon materials con- tained in aerosols generated by hydrocarbon seeps rising to the sea or earth surface. The secondary light radiation is detected aboard the aircraft and subjected to spectral analysis to determine whether the composition of the aerosols is character- istic of aerosols generated by hydrocarbon seeps. Apparatus for implementing the method is also disclosed.
