Purpose. Numerous studies of various film pollutions (oil spills, surfactants etc.) are performed by means of satellite monitoring of seas and oceans. However, the problem of formal ranking the water areas of the regions under study by frequency and intensity of pollution is still unsolved. The conditions and periodicity of satellite survey can differ greatly depending on the monitoring region that determines both spatial variability of the probability of film pollution detection and the need to
