Abstract:

This dataset is a collection of photos of the floating oil types around the Taylor energy platform, under different environmental conditions conducted during a reconnaissance cruise in May 2016. Photos and absorbent pads were used to quantify the amount of oil on the water's surface. Dataset consists of GPS tagged photos, the amount of oil that was collect at each site, and the environmental conditions at each collection site.
