Remote Sensing of Slicks as Indicators for Marine Processes in the Coastal Zone
Monomolecular surface films (“sea slicks”) are well known to dampen small-scale waves at the water surface, and thereby to influence transport processes at the air-sea interface. Because of their strong wave-damping capabilities they can often be delineated on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, but also on satellite imagery acquired in the visible and infrared spectral ranges. Since sea sl...
متن کاملSynergy of Meris/asar for Observing Marine Film Slicks and Small Scale Processes
RESUME Observations of oceanic short-period internal waves by MERIS in Full Resolution Level 1b mode are presented and we investigate the capability of the sensor to observe marine film slicks and small scale processes. The radiometric resolution of MERIS imagery is shown to be capable for detection of IWs across the entire swath width of the FR Mode, including for moderate wind speed condition...
متن کاملImmediate ecotoxicological effects of short-lived oil spills on marine biota
Marine environments are frequently exposed to oil spills as a result of transportation, oil drilling or fuel usage. Whereas large oil spills and their effects have been widely documented, more common and recurrent small spills typically escape attention. To fill this important gap in the assessment of oil-spill effects, we performed two independent supervised full sea releases of 5 m(3) of crud...
متن کاملEnrichment of Fusobacteria in Sea Surface Oil Slicks from the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
The Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill led to rapid microbial community shifts in the Gulf of Mexico, including the formation of unprecedented quantities of marine oil snow (MOS) and of a massive subsurface oil plume. The major taxa that bloomed in sea surface oil slicks during the spill included Cycloclasticus, and to a lesser extent Halomonas, Alteromonas, and Pseudoalteromonas-organisms that ...
متن کاملRecurrent frontal slicks of a coastal ocean upwelling shadow
[1] Marine ecosystems are greatly influenced by the structure and dynamics of fronts. In coastal upwelling systems, frontogenesis occurs frequently by upwelling and transport of cold water and warming in sheltered “upwelling shadow” retention sites. Monterey Bay, in the California Current upwelling system, hosts a dynamic upwelling shadow environment. Using a decade of satellite synthetic apert...
