Det p\u00e5g\u00e6ldende monster er en k\u00e6mpe olieplet, der driver rundt, prisgivet vind og havstr\u00f8mme. Hvis den n\u00e5r land, vil vigtige fiskepladser, turiststrande og yngleomr\u00e5der for vilde dyr blive begravet under et tykt lag kl\u00e6brigt slam. Der truer en alvorlig milj\u00f8katastrofe.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Fjernm\u00e5lingssatellitter fra mange lande, herunder ESA\u2019s Envisat, overv\u00e5ger oliepletten d\u00f8gnet rundt. Optiske instrumenter ombord p\u00e5 rumfart\u00f8jerne kan registrere udslip p\u00e5 havoverfladen om dagen, n\u00e5r omr\u00e5det er skyfrit. Radarinstrumenter kan se oliepletten om natten og under skyer, samtidig med at de leverer oplysninger om havoverfladens ruhed og str\u00f8mforholdene. Dette g\u00f8r det muligt at beregne, i hvilken retning forureningen kan sprede sig.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" data-width=\"1428\" data-credit=\"ESA\" data-detail-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Images\/2010\/04\/Envisat_optical_image2\" data-licence=\"ESA Standard Licence\" data-licence-url=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/ESA_Multimedia\/Terms_and_conditions_of_use_of_images_and_videos_available_on_the_esa_website\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" src=\"https:\/\/www.esa.int\/var\/esa\/storage\/images\/esa_multimedia\/images\/2010\/04\/envisat_optical_image2\/17891835-2-eng-GB\/Envisat_optical_image.jpg\" alt=\"Envisat optical image\"><figcaption>Optisk billede fra Envisat<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Krisen begyndte den 22. april, efter at en boreplatform eksploderede og sank i Den Mexicanske Golf. Siden da er der hver dag str\u00f8mmet tusindvis af t\u00f8nder r\u00e5olie ud fra en beskadiget oliebr\u00f8nd, der ligger 1,5 km under boreplatformen. Inden for fire dage havde olieudslippet bredt sig over et omr\u00e5de, der var 77 km langt og 63 km bredt. I f\u00f8rste omgang viste satellitbilleder, at olien blev drevet mod Louisianas kyst, men heldigvis skiftede vinden retning, og oliepletten er for det meste forblevet p\u00e5 \u00e5bent hav.<\/p>\n<p>Billeder fra rummet viser imidlertid nu en lang oliestr\u00f8m, der breder sig mod syd.
