Hi carrenza2, He said the Thomas Jefferson research vessel would be "basically finding out where these plumes are, and why there's this oil lake", and all this by the end of the week, which is today. What have you heard? The oil plumes are something we can directly measure with a survey vessel and a benthic sampler (something that grabs a water sample at a specific depth), and potentially even with ADCP's according to my contacts. I don't think there's much dispute that the plumes exist, and I agree that once a dispersant is being applied at the point source than the oil could end up virtually anywhere in the water column - dispersed, in other words. Aggie <Edit> - By the way, the pronouncement that we have a 400-500 ft deep oil lake at the bottom of the GOM is the best news we have had for a very long time. How do I go about getting a lease block?
