Project Deepspill final report is located:

The sea bottom in that area was 844 meters, so not so deep as AF447 is likely to be. The SLAR image presented was of a crude oil test with a volume of 60 cubic meters. The film thickness was reported to be on the order of 1mm. A test was also conducted with marine deisel of a similar volume, however a SLAR image was not provided of that test. The length between tic marks on the screen was 10 km, so the spill was approximately 9 km long. Marine deisel is fairly similar to jet fuel in its physical properties.
The satellite image of the pollution spot was taken on June 2nd 2009 at 8h16m.
There is a grid overlaid on this image (apparently by the provider and I would be interested if anyone has hard information on the grid spacing. I had initially assumed a significantly larger spacing than did griz however with a swell spacing of 330 meters crest to crest, it appears that griz has the dimensions pretty well nailed. For those wishing to re-read the drift group report for additional info on the pollution spot, see page 134 of the following report : http://www.bea.aero/en/enquetes/flig...oup.report.pdf
