Sebastião, P.A. e Guedes Soares, C. (2003), “Pre-Operational System for Oil Spill Simulation”, Building the European Capacity in Operational Oceanography, 2003, H. Dahlin, N. C. Flemming, K. Nittis e S. E. Petersson (Eds.), Elsevier Oceanography Series, pp. 190-194
A system to simulate and visualise the trajectory and fate of oil spills on the Iberian Peninsula is presented. It comprises a set of modules to calculate the weathering of an oil spill and its trajectory. A database stores geo-referenced information, such as bathymetry and mean conditions of wind, waves and currents, and, the physico-chemical properties of the most common crude oils. When used operationally the system receives the input of online met-ocean forecast data and uses it to make predictions. If forecast data is not available the predictions can also be done using the mean met-ocean conditions resident in the system. An example is provided of its application to the oil spill originated by the accident involving the tanker Prestige in the Coast of Spain, in November 2002.
