Throughout the period from May 8 to August 24th the DFO COOGER team maintained a continuous monitoring program that recovered a total of 3197 unique water samples from 404 stations at depths down to 2000m for analysis of dispersant effectiveness by characterizing oil droplet size and UV-fluorescence. This collection of data is organized into nine database tables which include all data used by COOGER to conduct analyses. These data include LISST data for in situ deployments; discrete LISST data collected aboard R/V Brooks McCall and R/V Ocean Veritas; UV Fluorescence data collected aboard R/V Brooks McCall and R/V Ocean Veritas; Hydrocarbon chemistry data; CTD trace data; CTD trace data matched to Niskin bottles; R/V Brooks McCall and R/V Ocean Veritas sampling station data (date, depth, location, and distance from wellhead); and Wellhead data including daily oil flow and recovery, and dispersant application data. In direct support of U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) directives to monitor the efficacy of subsurface oil dispersant injection and the fate and transport of dispersed oil as part a of the larger coordinated spill response operations, COOGER's primary operational objectives were to: (1) Find and characterize dispersed oil by LISST particle size analysis and fluorescence analysis; (2)Perform ongoing sampling and analysis to track the subsurface oil plume emanating from the blown-out Deepwater Horizon wellhead; and (3) Verify plume modelling outputs provided by NOAA, SINTEF, and others. completed historicalArchive NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information ncei.info@noaa.gov https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/contact HTTPS NCEI Contact Information Information for contacts at NCEI. information pointOfContact asNeeded https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/metadata/landing-page/bin/gfx?id=gov.noaa.nodc:0086284 Graphic not available.

NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information custodian CTD CTD Conductivity-Temperature-Depth probe Laser In-Situ Scattering and Transmissometer (LISST) Laser In-Situ Scattering and Transmissometer (LISST) Measures particle size in the water column. A Laser In-Situ Scattering and Transmissometer from Sequoia Instruments measures the size distribution of particles five to 250 microns in diameter. LISST is attached to POPS and generates diagrams of the size distribution of particles and small aggregates in the water column without disturbing them by collecting them in water bottles. Particles' sizes influence their optical properties and settling dynamics, but many of the aggregates fall apart in water bottles before they can be returned to the lab and measured. transmissometer transmissometer transmissometer Instrument used to measure transmissivity in NODC File Alias F022.
