Data from underwater oil detection technologies are provided (1) A Remote Environmental Monitoring UnitS (REMUS-600) AUV equipped with fluorescence and backscatter SeaOWL UV-A (Oil-in-Water Locator; Sea-Bird Scientific WET Labs Inc.), holographic imager (HoloCam; SeaScan, Inc), hydrographic information, video camera, CTD and a water/oil sampler. (2) A tethered ROV system (DTG2, Deep Trekker Inc.) equipped with video camera, UviLux (Chelsea Technologies Group, Inc) fluorometer, a CTD and water/oil sampler. Calibration and validation tests of the sensor suite were conducted at the Coastal Response Research Center flume tank (NH, USA). Oil concentration estimates were verified by chemical analysis of hydrocarbons and particle size analysis (LISST 200X, Sequoia, Inc). Operational performance of the ROV platform and sensors was evaluated at the Ohmsett wave tank (NJ, USA). Field performance of the REMUS and sensor suite was evaluated at natural seeps near Santa Barbara, CA. This dataset is not publicly accessible because: It can be, but PI cannot locate an 'upload data' button. It can be accessed through the following means: PI can provide it to the PI manager for posting. Format: Electronic sensor data from the vehicle missions is provided in an excel spreadsheet
