Caption

(A) Stations located within 100 km (magenta stations, n = 7,741) and 10 km (yellow stations, n = 3,464) perimeters from Macondo (red +) are used to analyze the monthly distribution of low (C5- C12) and high (C13+) molecular weight petroleum hydrocarbons, and to evaluate sub-sea dispersant injection (SSDI) volumes on the vertical distribution of total petroleum hydro- carbons around the response area, respectively. Green dots are GSD stations outside the study area (n = 5,477). The gray lines are at the 1,000 m and 2,000 m isobaths.

(B) Three- dimensional view of the selected stations relative to Macondo wellhead's depth (red circle, not to scale).
