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
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.

The blowout of the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) drilling rig in 2010 released an unprecedented amount of oil at depth (1,500 m) into the Gulf of Mexico (GoM). Sedimentary geochemical data from an extensive area (∼194,000 km2) was used to characterize the amount, chemical signature, distribution, and extent of the DWH oil deposited on the seafloor in 2010–2011 from coastal to deep-sea areas in the GoM. The analysis of numerous hydrocarbon compounds (N = 158) and sediment cores (N = 2,613) suggests that, 1.9 ± 0.9 × 104 metric tons of hydrocarbons (>C9 saturated and aromatic fractions) were deposited in …
Ixtoc-I Oil Spill Footprints Derived From Coastal Zone Color Scanner And Landsat/Mss Imagery, Shaojie Sun
Ixtoc-I Oil Spill Footprints Derived From Coastal Zone Color Scanner And Landsat/Mss Imagery, Shaojie Sun
C-IMAGE data
This dataset contains Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) and Landsat/MSS images used to identify the surface oil footprints created by the Ixtoc-I oil spill in 1979. There are two periods of imagery: June 1979-March 1980 is the oil spill period; and Jan. 1981-Dec. 1982 is the reference period. Oil slick surface footprints derived from the images are also included in the dataset. They are either in the format of shapefile or ArcGIS personal geodatabase.
Dataset For: Sun Glint Requirement For The Remote Detection Of Surface Oil Films, Mengqiu Wang
Dataset For: Sun Glint Requirement For The Remote Detection Of Surface Oil Films, Mengqiu Wang
C-IMAGE data
This dataset includes selected points and their sun glint strength values of image pairs which were used in determining the sun glint threshold required for remotely sensing oil films in the northern Gulf of Mexico. The satellite imagery used in the analyses were collected by Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Terra (MODIST), MODIS Aqua (MODISA), and Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instruments. The dataset includes original raw file lists of the imagery used and information about how they can accessed can be found in the Supplemental Information section of the metadata. Post processing MODIS Rayleigh corrected reflectance (Rrc) data, …
