Data collection: Radarsat-2, TerraSAR-X, ALOS-2, RISAT-1, UAVSAR, photo, drifters, and weather data. Main objectives: To study evolution of oil slicks To study transport of oil slicks To study oil slick detection capabilities To study oil slicks characterization capabilities Radarsat-2, MDA Stavanger, Norway Stril Mariner: vessel conducting the releases and met/ocean observations. 4 April 2017 CIRFA Centre for Integrated Remote Sensing and Forecasting for Arctic Operations 7

15 Parameters in Met Norway s OpenOil drift model tuned to fit UAVSAR measurements Oil represented by particles (seeded within contours from UAVSAR) Simulated transport of P and E80 (slicks with associated isphere and SLDMB drifters). Horizontal movement: Ambient current (two runs: SLDMB drifters or model) Wave-induced Stokes drift Windage ( 2% of surface wind) Vertical movement: Entrainment of oil surface elements by breaking waves Eddy diffusivity of submerged droplets (random walk scheme) Rise of submerged particles due to buoyancy Two free parameters: Entrainment rate Droplet radius 4 April 2017 CIRFA Centre for Integrated Remote Sensing and Forecasting for Arctic Operations 15

16 Trajectories show particles spending most time close to (far below) surface drift faster eastward (westward) Bulk of plant oil below surface shielded from strong eastward Stokes drift and surface wind. Trajectory mainly steered by currents and in agreement with UAVSAR observations. 4 April 2017 CIRFA Centre for Integrated Remote Sensing and Forecasting for Arctic Operations 16

18 What we learned from this study Plant oil: Rapidly entrains Most oil stays below surface Reservoir of resurfacing oil Less wind-driven transport Mineral oil emulsion (80%) Slowly entrains Most oil stays at surface Stronger wind-driven transport Careful planning and interdisciplinary research team key factors for success!
