WHOI Scientists Map and Confirm Origin of Large, Underwater Hydrocarbon Plume in Gulf . www.whoi.edu Plume animation: This animation of a plume of hydrocarbons emanating from the Deepwater Horizon oil spill shows the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) Sentry making numerous criss-cross penetrations to map the parameters of the 1100 meter-deep plume. Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) scientists, who conducted the NSF-funded work in June 2010, report the plume is 1.2 miles wide, 650 feet high, and at least 22 miles long. WHOI developed and operates Sentry. (Animation by Jack Cook, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution). "Scientists at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) have detected a plume of hydrocarbons that is at least 22 miles long and more than 3000 feet below the surface of the Gulf of Mexico, a residue of the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The 1.2-mile-wide, 650-foot-high plume of trapped hydrocarbons provides at least a partial answer to recent questions asking where all the oil has gone as surface slicks shrink and disappear. "These results indicate that efforts to book keep where the oil went must now include this plume" in the Gulf, said Christopher Reddy, a WHOI marine geochemist and oil spill expert and one of the authors of the study, which appears in the Aug. 19 issue of the journal Science. The researchers measured distinguishing petroleum hydrocarbons in the plume and, using them as an investigative tool, determined that the source ...
