Abstract:

This is the list of images acquired during our field operations around the MC20 spill site. We used this satellite images to monitor the displacement of the oil slicks while GPS drifters were deployed. The satellite images can be downloaded through the public domain servers (NASA or ESA) or purchased from the commercial satellite operators (MDA, AIRBUS, DIGITAL GLOBE). It also includes the list of AVISO and GHRSST files used to interpolate/understand the ocean state during the field operation. This dataset supports the publication: Androulidakis, Y., Kourafalou, V.,Özgökmen, T., Garcia-Pineda, O., Lund, B., Le Hénaff, M., Hu, C., Haus, B.K., Novelli, G., Guigand, C., Kang, H., Hole, L., & Horstmann, J.
