Chemical measurements confirm official estimate of Gulf oil spill rate
Description: By combining detailed chemical measurements in the deep ocean, in the oil slick, and in the air, NOAA scientists and academic colleagues have independently estimated how fast gases and oil were leaking during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. This study uses the available chemical data to give a better understanding of what went where, and why. [Source: NOAA News]
