A new NOAA-led study on the environmental distribution of gas and oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill relies on data from a wide range of sources including many water samples taken from various ocean depths using CTDs, a standard oceanographic instrument. Scientists from diverse backgrounds and organizations including academia, private research institutions and federal labs contributed to the study, which provides a composite picture of the fate of the oil.
