(May 19, 2010) As scientific models show oil from the Deepwater Horizon spill entering the Gulf of Mexicos Loop Current, USF’s R/V Bellows and a team of scientists began a five-day voyage to the Loop Current Wednesday to investigate the extent of oil spreading south through the gulf. The Bellows is the second USF ship involved in the oil spill response. The R/V Weatherbird returned Monday, May 17 from a 12-day mission to gather marine life samples in the gulf and in the spill zone. The Weatherbird II is expected to sail again for the Loop Current later this week to rendezvous with the Bellows. The Bellows voyage will involve collecting water samples from the Loop Current and determine if oil below the gulfs surface is present in the fast-moving current that runs the length of the state of Florida. Scientists will use high-tech underwater sensors to explore in depths that cannot be examined by satellite images. Scientists will also look for tar balls and deploy as many as six drifters to estimate eastward movement of the oil in the Loop Current. The gulf Loop Current is about 80 to 100 miles from Floridas west coast. USF PhD students Peter Simard, who studies whales and dolphins, and Brian Barnes, an optical oceanographer who studies the coral reefs near the Florida Keys, are representing the College of Marine Science on the venture. Simard said … Video Rating: 5 / 5
