内容記述 | The Deepwater Horizon accident discharged a staggering amount of oil (about 780,000 Kl) into the Gulf of Mexico. In other forecast simulations based on the ocean-only models, spilled oil reach the Atlantic Ocean by the Gulf Stream. In this study, we simulated 3-dimensional movement of oils using the real-time oceanic and atmospheric conditions obtained by the coupled MSSG (Multi-Scale Simulator for the Geoenvironment) model. Our simulation show that the amounts of oil discharge into the Atlantic is very limited due to the trade winds. The atmospheric coupling to the ocean model is essential in the forecast simulation of spilled oils. |
