... Neural Network Algorithm (TCNNA) to process more than 1200 SAR images collected over the GOM. We quantified more than 1000 individual seep formations distributed along the outer continental shelf and in deep water. Comparison of the geophysical anomalies with the SAR oil slick targets shows good general...

... Dome and Mars Mud Volcano seepage sites. The effect of subsea currents on the vertical trajectory of methane bubbles and possibly on oil droplets has been mapped from echo-sounder data. A bubble rise technique was developed and has proved useful in the tracking of an oil slick origin point down to its...

... commonly used in evaluation of the oil slick spreading. Latest developments in computational fluid dynamics and increased computational resources have provided an opportunity to develop a comprehensive model for oil spill problem. In this current study, a detailed Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based...

.... In an attempt to fill in some of the most serious gaps, a series of experiments on the effect of breaking waves on an oil slick were performed in the smaller of the two towing tanks at SMT. Of particular, concern was the effective mixing depths induced by breaking waves passing the oil slick and an estimate...

... ABSTRACT The capability of Landsat to detect some oil slicks in marine waters has been verified. Reflectance anomalies associated with the slicks have been detected visually on film data, by photo-optical enhancement techniques and by computer processing. Applications of Landsat oil slick data...

... ABSTRACT The performance of mechanical nonporous booms as oil-spill containment devices has been studied previously, and the behavior of contained oil slicks has been observed and analyzed. These investigations are restricted to viscous oils that are Newtonian fluids. Some oils form water...

... ABSTRACT Five concepts to control and remove oil slicks in water current velocities of up to 10 knots are presented. Present technology generally limits the effective removal of oil spills to current speeds of 1–2 knots. Several fast pollution risk areas exist where either high currents...

... ABSTRACT The relative effect of local winds and near-surface currents in determining the movement of oil slicks in coastal and shelf waters was determined from 39 surveys by Raydist equipped helicopters during the Main Pass 41C spill off the Mississippi Delta in March 1970. Orientation of oil...

... failure. The critical velocity is a function of the specific gravity of the oil and the interfacial tension between the oil and water. INTRODUCTION The general behavior of an oil slick retained by a surface barrier against a current has been well documented by several investigations [1,2]. At low...

... of the samplers operational characteristics as observed during deployment from a boat on soybean oil slicks. The second phase was concerned with the efficiency of the samplers on different oils and at different thickness, as well as the ability of the samplers to maintain the chemical integrity of the samples...

... is released from these seeps at a total rate approaching 100 barrels per day, and the resulting oil slicks contaminate several square miles of surface water. Standardized methods have been developed for sampling, classifying, and characterizing oil-tar beach pollutants; these techniques have been field-tested...

... Abstract An analysis is made of the spreading and transport of oil slicks on the open ocean. Included in the analysis are the spreading of oil spills through the mechanisms of gravity and surface tension, the effect of viscous retardation, and transport due to combined effects of waves, winds...

... information relating to the spill transport to Sable Island. The importance of an adequate description of prevailing surface currents and vertical eddy viscosity is illustrated. Introduction The ability to predict the displacement of an oil slick is essential to proper planning of petroleum terminal...

..., it is obvious that no one sensor can detect, identify, measure thickness and map oil slicks. What is required is a multi spectral approach to resolve this sensing problem. Introduction The Coast Guard, in discharging its responsibility, spends a considerable amount of time and effort monitoring our waters...

... booms were effective in containing oil, oil recovery tools have not been effective where any significant wave action was present. The objective of the research and system development reported herein has been to evolve a system for oil slick control and oil recovery that would be largely independent...
