SIPPER: Oil-Marine Snow-Mineral Aggregate Interactions and Sedimentation during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico from May-June 2010

Images of marine snow were collected on board the RV Gordon Gunter between 28 May - 3 June 2010 in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico using the SIPPER (Shadowed Image Particle Profiling Evaluation Recorder) camera imaging system. SIPPER images were subsequently analyzed for particle size distributions (area in mm2) by PICES pattern recognition software.2010年5月28日至6月3日，科研人员于墨西哥湾东北部海域，搭乘‘戈登·冈特号’（RV Gordon Gunter）研究船，使用SIPPER（阴影成像粒子剖面评估记录仪，Shadowed Image Particle Profiling Evaluation Recorder）相机成像系统采集海洋雪图像。后续，研究团队通过太平洋海洋科学组织（PICES）模式识别软件，分析SIPPER拍摄图像的粒子粒径分布（面积单位为mm²）。
