SAMPLE_DESCRIPTION:
Sample of weathered oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill collected from the beach on Grand Isle on June 9, 2010. Spectrum measured in the field on June 9, 2010. The reflectance spectrum has strong absorption features centered near 1.72 and 2.30 microns arising from C-H bonds in weathered oil.
This spectrum, labeled as "Oil-Strong", was published and described in:
