 WAVE LENGTHS (ANGSTROMS) 

 SPECTRAL SIGNATURES OF FISH AND MINERAL OILS 



THESE CURVES REPRESENT THE RELATIVE ABSORPTION AT VARIOUS WAVE LENGTHS FOR DIFFERENT OIL FILMS OBTAINED 

 IN THE LABORATORY. EMISSION CURVES OBTAINED WITH AIR- OR SPACEBORNE SPECTROMETERS FROM OIL SLICKS ON 

 THE OCEAN SURFACE WILL GIVE SIMILAR SIGNATURES. LOCATION OF OIL SLICKS FROM WATER POLLUTION, SHIP OR 

 AIRCRAFT DISASTERS, AND SCHOOLING FISH ARE POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS FOR THIS SPECTROMETER.
