Oil spills were identified using a neural network and an adaptive threshold method. * The spatial and temporal changes of oil spills on SAR images were observed and traced as time passed. * Initial dissipation of spilt oil at the sea surface was induced by tidal mixing at tidal front zone. * Horizontal spreading of oil spills is explained by Ekman drift during winter monsoon season.
