During the DeepSpill_2000 field experiment (Johansen et al., 2001) oil and gas were artificially released on several occasions from a water depth of 844 meters at the Helland-Hansen site in the Norwegian sea. Prior to and during these releases a variety of sampling gear, echo sounders and other inst...
