Interesting series of posts at ZeroHedge, dated today.
I am on scene on one of the largest oceanographic research vessels working in the GOM. I am not being paid by NOAA or BP. This is a factual statement: Beyond 20 NM from the wellhead we have not detected subsurface oil at any depth in concentrations above 20PPM, beyond 40NM we have not detected any oil above 2PPM that was associated with Deepwater Horizon. We have seen the usual seep concentrations around Vioska Knoll, Green Canyon, etc.
Just wanted to add that out of tens of thousands of samples, the positive hits are coming from extremely limited areas "Plumes" which are measured in tens and perhaps hundreds of meters, not in miles. I have access to all of the raw and preliminary data coming in from 8 of the vessels sampling for the SMU (Subsurface Monitoring Unit)
and in response to a request for "CDOM flouresence in relation to DO2 and the date your vessel departed/returned along with its MMSI",
I am not authorized to be releasing this info, it is all going to litigation. I'll cut and paste some date on determination of crude concentrations via CDOM and Dissolved Oxygen if it would make you feel any better.
You mean the theory that there is a huge gusher of oil coming out of the oceanfloor in the GOM somewhere else?
