Abstract
Reviews the physical mechanisms relevant to slicks; their observation; their role in complicating pollution detection; and their potential uses for ocean and climate studies. The multi-disciplinary nature of slicks research-needing expertise from organic chemistry through colloid physics and fluid mechanics to radar imaging-makes it a particularly interesting and challenging field of research
