Arctic winter oil spill test : United States Coast Guard / E. C. Chen.: En36-503/68E-PDF
"As part of an arctic pollution control program, the U.S. Coast Guard conducted a series of tests off the northern coast of Alaska during the summer of 1970 to investigate the behaviour of crude-oil spills in the Arctic. Information derived from the tests - such as the inhibitive effect of cold temperatures on oil spreading, the pocketing and migrating of oil under ice, and oil burns on ice - has proved informative and useful. Results of the tests were reported in detail. The winter oil-spill test discussed in this report was a supplemental experiment of the summer test mentioned above. Its purpose was to investigate the physical properties of crude oil spilled in an arctic winter environment. The test took place at Port Clarence, a small peninsula on the Bering Strait, January 14 to February 4, 1972"--Introduction.
