Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the
Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 195."Monitoring and Modeling
the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill: A Record-Breaking Enterprise"
presents an overview of some of the significant work that was
conducted in immediate response to the oil spill in the Gulf of
Mexico in 2010. It includes studies of in situ and remotely sensed
observations and laboratory and numerical model studies on the
four-dimensional oceanographic conditions in the gulf and their
influence on the distribution and fate of the discharged oil.
Highlights of the book include discussions of the following:
immediate responses to the "Deepwater Horizon" oil spill using
Integrated Ocean Observing System resources; monitoring the surface
and subsurface oil using satellites, aircraft, vessels, and AUVs;
mapping the oceanographic conditions using satellites, aircraft,
vessels, drifters, and moorings; modeling the spreading of surface
oil trajectories and the three-dimensional dispersal of subsurface
hydrocarbon plumes; oil spill risk analyses and statistical studies
on the fate of the oil; and laboratory investigation of ocean
stratification related to subsurface plumes. This book will be of
value to scientists interested in the "Deepwater Horizon" oil
spill, the Gulf of Mexico, and the potential for conveyance of oil
spilled in the Gulf of Mexico to the North Atlantic. A more
technical audience may include those interested in oil spill
detection, trajectory model forecasting, and risk analyses and
those with an interest in applied oceanography, including
scientists, engineers, environmentalists, natural and living marine
resource managers and students within academic institutions,
agencies, and industries who are involved with the Gulf of Mexico
and other regions with offshore oil and gas exploration and
production.
