For the bullseye graphic that we are generating, please generate the following shapefiles, all centered on the location of the Deepwater Horizon. I recommend just creating the appropriate buffer from the point marked here.

  • Circle covering 667,746.32 sq. kilometers (BP volume)
  • Circle covering 143,222.02 sq. kilometers (Area of Spills since BP, SkyTruth Estimate)
  • Circle covering 40,859.72 sq. km. (Area of Exxon Valdez Spill)
  • Circle covering 16,040.40 sq. km (Area of Spills since BP, reported volumes)

For reference, the files should look something like this (only a little to the NW and more accurately centered)
