This diary has been created as repository of Quantitative data relevent to the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil spill as an adjunct to the Live Blogs and other diaries.
THIS IS NOT A PLACE FOR MOST DISCUSSIONS OR COMMENTS. This is for quantitative data. This is not a place for opinions, politics, vents, rants, conspiracy therories, general discussions, non-quantitative news, etc. Those go on the normal live blog threads. The idea is to keep a high signal to noise ratio so people can find the numbers after they are posted here. Post comments to give new data, correct old data, provide additional sources, question or confirm accuracy of numbers, give interesting calculations using the numbers, etc. Some non-quantitative facts that are particularly helpful in providing background information which is relevent to the use and application of the data may also be posted.
