| Summary: | Disasters at sea often run the risk of producing oil spillage. The level of spill depends on thetype of vessel, the severity of damage, the weather conditions and nature of the disaster. Rapidresponse is crucial, yet an effective response depends on knowledge of the extent of the spill responseinstruments for delineation of an oil spillage at sea. Three sensors were tested to sense marinethrough the water column. Autonomous underwater vehicles are attractive to delineate a spilldue to their capability of rapid deployment and ability to sense in three-dimensional space. Thispaper describes the assessment of oil sensors for their effectiveness on A UV s as rapid diesel oil in regular and breaking wave conditions. The outcomes implied that the roboticmission algorithms must account for oil in water that forms patches and clouds of droplets ofvarious sizes and distribution at varied depths using appropriate sensors. |
