“…These include not only large spills, which cause intense public and political interest, but also chronic small-scale emissions that can heavily damage the environment (Elliot, 1999). Predicting a spill's impact, and thus the best response strategy (Reed and others, 1995), requires understanding of the fate of the many oil components that have different toxicities, that is processes affecting slick chemical evolution (Riazi and Al-Enzi, 1999;Labelle and Danenberger, 1997), and processes affecting its advection and dispersion.…”

thickness, we estimate that the volume of oil, including oil thicker than can be probed in the AVIRIS imagery, is possibly as high as 150,000 barrels in the AVIRIS scenes. When this value is projected to the entire spill, it gives a volume of about 500,000 barrels for thick oil remaining on the sea surface as of May 17. AVIRIS data cannot be used to confirm this higher volume, and additional field work including more in-situ measurements of oil thickness would be required to confirm this higher oil volume. Both the directly detected minimum range of oil volume, and the higher possible volume projection for oil thicker than can be probed with NIR spectroscopy imply a significantly higher total volume of oil relative to that implied by the early NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) estimate of 5,000 barrels per day reported on their Web site.

“…Changes in oil chemical composition are important because different components have different toxicity (Labelle and Danenberger, 1997;Riazi and Al-Enzi, 1999). For example, among the n-alkanes, the more volatile compounds are more toxic (Engelhardt, 1987).…”

“…remote sensing, hyperspectral, reflectance, offshore oil slick Remote sensing technology has been regarded as an important method to monitor, detect, and analyze oil spill, marine oil and gas resources [1][2][3][4] . Offshore oil slick, an important target in this field [5][6][7][8] , is being paid more attention to by researchers in its existing state and evolving process [4][5][6][7][8][9] . Moreover, with the development of the hyperspectral remote sensing technology, more detailed spectral bands could be utilized for detecting offshore oil slick [10,11] .…”
