| Zusammenfassung |
| Oil spill modeling is considered to be an important part of a decision
support system (DeSS) for oil spill combatment and is useful for remedial
action in case of accidents, as well as for designing the environmental
monitoring system that is frequently set up after major accidents. Many
accidents take place in coastal areas, implying that low resolution basin
scale ocean models are of limited use for predicting the trajectories of an
oil spill. In this study, we target the oil spill in connection with the
"Full City" accident on the Norwegian south coast and compare operational
simulations from three different oil spill models for the area. The result
of the analysis is that all models do a satisfactory job. The "standard"
operational model for the area is shown to have severe flaws, but by
applying ocean forcing data of higher resolution (1.5 km resolution), the
model system shows results that compare well with observations. The study
also shows that an ensemble of results from the three different models is
useful when predicting/analyzing oil spill in coastal areas. |
