Description |
Project objectives are as follows:
|
Progress |
The initial oil slick thickness algorithms have been developed. Crude oil
samples sent from Ohmsett have been received. They will be used to test the
equipment and algorithms at bench scale. Testing of the sensors over the
Santa Barbara oil spills was successfully conducted October 12&13, 2005. The sensor package was successfully tested during full-scale tests at Ohmsett May 8-12, 2006. The sensor package was tested in a fixed position on the Ohmsett observation tower and in an aerial mode while attached on a helicopter. The final report has been accepted by MMS. This project is complete. |
