Validation of oil fate and mass balance for the Deepwater Horizon oil spill: Evaluation of water column partitioning

Model predictions of oil transport and fate for the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill (Gulf of Mexico) were compared to field observations and absolute and relative concentrations of oil compounds in samples from 900 to 1400 m depth 1 mm droplets that surfaced near the spill site within a few hours,...
