Bookmark or Share- Detecting and quantifying oil slick thickness by thermal remote sensing ...The laser-ultrasonic remote sensing of oil thickness (LURSOT) sensor measures the time taken for ultrasonic waves to travel through oil and provides a direct measurement of oil-slick thickness (Brown et al., 1996, Brown et al., 2005, Brown et al., 2006); however, because of the many uncertainties involved, it remains difficult to determine oil ...
- Ultrasonic measurement of oil slick thickness using a remotely operated ...When oil spill accidents happen, the spilled oil usually rises to the sea surface to form an oil slick due to the lighter density in comparison to water. Technically, mechanical recovery using a skimmer ( Etkin and Nedwed, 2021 ), dispersants ( Federici and Mintz, 2014 ), and in situ burning (ISB) ( Mullin and Champ, 2003 ) are three types of ...
- Oil Slick - an overview | ScienceDirect TopicsBased on slick sizes, they estimated the barrels of oil per unit area of sea surface as follows: (1) oil slicks originate at point sources; (2) seepage rates from the point sources range from 1.4 to 30 m 3 /1000 km 2 /day; (3) annual rate of oil seepage into this satellite-monitored area amounts to 20,000 m 3 /year (120,000 bbls/year ...
- Oil slick morphology derived from AVIRIS measurements of the Deepwater ...In this study, oil thickness > 200 μm was deemed as thick oil since as it falls in the range that can be effectively recovered or removed, although the thickness threshold may change with environmental conditions (e.g., age of the slick, wind, oil type, sea state) (Fingas, 2012). Thus, these AVIRIS-based findings on slick morphology and size ...
- Fragmentation of chemically herded oil slicks by multiple obstaclesThe oil slick thus flows around the obstacle at speeds of ∼120 mm/s and pushes towards the basin centerline, subsequently forming a tail behind the entire obstacle group at t = 4.67 s (Fig. 5 d). Flow speeds have also decreased somewhat at this time point as the entire oil slick has begun to translate to the left.
