Examples from texts

However, the presence of excessive surface debris will also affect movement of an oil slick.
Cependant, ce déplacement est retardé par la présence de débris flottants en trop grand nombre.

Consequently, availability of dissolved oxygen under an oil slick often limits degradation of hydrocarbons by micro-organisms, particularly in harbours where dissolved oxygen levels are often low to begin with due to local pollution.
Donc, la disponibilité de l'oxygène dissous sous une nappe d'hydrocarbures en limite souvent la biodégradation, en particulier dans l'eau des ports où la teneur en oxygène dissous est souvent très basse à cause de la pollution locale.

Due to the earth's rotation, movement of the slick in the Northern Hemisphere is slightly to the right of the wind direction, and in the Southern Hemisphere, slightly to the left; this phenomenon is commonly referred to as the Coriolis effect.
A cause de la rotation de la terre, le déplacement de la nappe dans l'hémisphère nord est décalé légèrement à droite de la direction du vent, et dans l'hémisphère sud, légèrement à gauche.

Very strong winds may even move the slick "up-current," and, as a general rule, winds in excess of 16 km/h will cause the slick to break up into streaks or windrows.
Des vents violents peuvent même déplacer la nappe à contre-courant. De façon générale, des vents de plus de 16 km/h «effilocheront» la nappe en longues bandes.

Chemicals which increase the viscosity of oil, and, in theory, can be applied to an oil slick to reduce its rate of spread over the water surface.
Produit chimique qui accroît la viscosité des hydrocarbures et qui, théoriquement, peut être appliqué sur une nappe d'hydrocarbures pour en ralentir l'étalement sur l'eau.

In the case of a rapidly moving slick in the marine environment, several of these devices may be shipped to the site and dropped into the oil to allow tracking to continue during the night or in bad weather.
Dans Se cas d'une nappe se déplaçant rapidement en mer, plusieurs de ces appareils peuvent être expédiés sur les lieux et largués dans la nappe pour que la poursuite continue pendant la nuit ou par mauvais temps.

Sorbents are primarily used near the shore, and may be spread directly onto the oil or placed ahead of the advancing slick.
Les absorbants sont utilisés surtout près du rivage et peuvent être répartis directement sur la nappe ou sur son trajet.

Some investigators report that crude oil slicks less than 3 mm thick will not burn at all, while kerosene, fuel oils or lubricating oils will not burn without a wicking agent.
D'après certains chercheurs, les nappes de moins de 3 mm d'épaisseur ne brûlent pas sans support de combustion.
