Later, CTD data and water samples were collected to measure tracer concentrations to determine initial transport and dispersion of the tracer. RAFOS floats were released to track the water movement. The tracer allows researchers to track the movement of water at depth. This simulates oil release at depth similar to that which occurred during the Deepwater Horizon event.
