NASA image acquise le 1 mai 2010 Les fortes couleurs à l'huile la surface du golfe du Mexique dans cette image satellite détaillée, acquis par l'Advanced Spaceborne Émission thermique et de réflexion Radiometer (ASTER) sur le satellite Terra de la NASA le 1 er mai 2010. L'image est faite à la fois de la lumière visible et infrarouge, mais l'habile ressemble à une image couleur naturelle faite uniquement à partir de la lumière visible. L'huile la plus lourde est l'argent avec des concentrations légèrement plus clair rayonnant en stries de blanc. L'eau est noire, même si l'eau est teintée de blanc, faisant allusion à l'huile sur la surface de l'eau throu

NASA image acquired May 1, 2010 Heavy oil colors the surface of the Gulf of Mexico in this detailed satellite image, acquired by the Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite on May 1, 2010. The image is made from both visible and infrared light, but the slick looks similar to a natural color image made solely from visible light. The heaviest oil is silver with slightly lighter concentrations radiating out in streaks of white. The water is black, though even the dark water is tainted with white, hinting at oil on the water’s surface throughout the image. Tiny flecks on the wave-ruffled surface are ships, which are probably trying to contain the oil. The oil was coming from a damaged pipe in an oil well on the sea floor, about 5, 000 feet (1, 500 meters) below the surface. Engineers were injecting dispersants at the oil’s source to prevent a plume from forming. As of May 2, the well continued to leak oil into the Gulf at a rate of 210, 000 gallons (795, 000 liters) per day, said the Office and Response and Restoration at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The leak started on April 20 after an explosion at an offshore drilling oil rig. By May 2, the oil had started to wash ashore on the Mississippi Delta, and NOAA had restricted fishing in affected waters between the Mississippi Delta and Pensacola Bay. The image shows the densest part of the spill near the leaking oil well. .Reference .Office of Response and Restoration. (2010, May 2). Deepwater Horizon Incident, Gulf of Mexico.
