Abstract
The present invention relates to a device and method for measuring depth of a hydrophobic liquid, such as oil, on a surface of water. The device uses a conductivity sensor and/or an optical sensor to detect the depth of an oil-water boundary. The device may have a Global Positioning System (GPS) for determining the geographic position of the device. Measurements of oil depth taken at particular geographic locations may be transmitted in real-time by the device to a remote computer in order to generate a depth profile of an oil spill.
