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 …

Dataset For: Tracking An Oil Tanker Collision And Spilled Oils In The East China Sea Using Multisensor Day And Night Satellite Imagery, Shaojie Sun Mar 2018

Dataset For: Tracking An Oil Tanker Collision And Spilled Oils In The East China Sea Using Multisensor Day And Night Satellite Imagery, Shaojie Sun

C-IMAGE data

In this dataset, we used a multi-sensor day and night satellite approach to track the SANCHI oil tanker collision and oil spill event in January 2018 in the East China Sea. The drifted on fire oil tanker was tracked by Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) Nightfire product and Day/Night Band (DNB) imagery. Such pathway and locations were also reproduced with a numerical model, with RMS error of < 15 km. MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI) optical imagery during daytime shows smokes on 13 January 2018, further confirms the drifted tanker location. MSI imagery after 4 days of the tanker’s sinking (18 January 2018) reveals oil on the ocean surface to the east and northeast of the tanker sinking location. This combination of all available remote sensing and modeling techniques can provide effective means to monitor marine accidents and oil spills to assist event response.


Evaluation Of Diet Matrix Uncertainty For The Atlantis Model, Cameron Ainsworth Mar 2018

Evaluation Of Diet Matrix Uncertainty For The Atlantis Model, Cameron Ainsworth

C-IMAGE data

We conducted 1000 Atlantis simulations, using permutated diet matrices created by drawing from a beta distribution that represented uncertainty in predator diet. We also employed a statistical emulator which simulates the production of many more Atlantis runs than could be achieved through numerical simulation. This dataset includes 3 products: statistical emulator output, diet matrices, and Atlantis simulations. These are each contained in their own zip file.

Remote Sensing Estimation Of Surface Oil Volume During The 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Blowout In The Gulf Of Mexico: Scaling Up Aviris Observation With Modis Measurements, Chuanmin Hu, Lian Feng

C-IMAGE data

This dataset contains Rayleigh corrected reflectance data from 19 MODIS images collected between April and July 2010, along with their corresponding maps of surface oil volume, maps of relative oil thickness of different classes, and maps of probability distributions of different thicknesses. Surface oil was estimated by spatially scaling up AVIRIS observations to synoptic MODIS measurements, which were the used to derived oil classification and probability maps.

Spatial Distributions Of Fish And Invertebrates In The Gulf Of Mexico For 2010-01-01 Estimated Using A Statistical Model, Michael Drexler Mar 2016

Spatial Distributions Of Fish And Invertebrates In The Gulf Of Mexico For 2010-01-01 Estimated Using A Statistical Model, Michael Drexler

C-IMAGE data

A generalized additive modelling (GAM) approach is used to describe the abundance of 40 species groups (i.e. functional groups) across the Gulf of Mexico (GoM) using a large fisheries independent data set (SEAMAP) and climate scale oceanographic conditions. Predictor variables included in the model are chlorophyll a, sediment type, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and depth. The GAM approach was shown to be robust despite zero-inflated data. article: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0064458
