Hydrocarbon Concentration Data Collected During A Coastal Survey Conducted In The Bay Of Campeche, Southern Gulf Of Mexico On 2016-08-09, Isabel Romero

C-IMAGE data

On 2016 a coastal survey was conducted in the Bay of Campeche (Mexico) to search for remnants of the Ixtoc-1 spill. This spill occurred on June 3 of 1979 releasing about 3 million barrels of oil during 9.75 months. In the aftermath of the spill (1979-1980), a survey conducted by Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi indicated oil reached and impacted several areas, including mangroves, reefs and rocky beaches. Previous visual surveys and observations from locals confirmed the coastal areas were not impacted by oil before the Ixtoc-1 spill. In 2016, C-IMAGE II researchers conducted a similar survey with the additional goal …

Spectral Variability Of Oil Slicks Under Different Observing Conditions Derived From Satellite And Airborne Optical Remote Sensing, Chuanmin Hu Jan 2019

Spectral Variability Of Oil Slicks Under Different Observing Conditions Derived From Satellite And Airborne Optical Remote Sensing, Chuanmin Hu

C-IMAGE data

In this dataset, we present the spectral variability of oil slicks under different observing conditions using MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer), MERIS (Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer), MISR (Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer), Landsat 7 Enhanced Thematic Mapper Plus (ETM+) and AVIRIS (Airborne Visible/ Infrared Imaging Spectrometer). Optical remote sensing is commonly used to detect oil in the surface ocean due to the spectral differences between oil and water, allowing to modulate oil–water spatial and spectral contrasts. However, understanding these contrasts is challenging because of variable results from laboratory and field experiments, as well as different observing conditions and spatial/spectral resolutions of remote …
