Laboratory observations of the behavior of gas-saturated crude oil droplets rising in seawater

This dataset contains observations of the growth rate of methane-saturated oil droplets under depressurization in a counter-current flow channel filled with artificial seawater. Droplet growth rate was captured through photographic imaging with back-lit illumination, and size evaluation was processed in ImageJ. A time series of the ratio of instantaneous to initial droplet size is presented for four different experiments with different combinations of initial droplet size and pressure.
