    • Simulated oil spills in Gulf of Mexico from 2015-03-01 to 2015-11-30 (NCEI Accession 0176683)

    Metadata Updated: December 1, 2025

    This data package contains oil spill simulations in different areas of the Gulf of Mexico. These spills vary where they are simulated, how much oil is being released into the environment, and when the oil is being released. The runs are based on the Navy Coastal Ocean Model (NCOM), a numerical ocean model that simulates the ambient ocean conditions at the time the spill was simulated.
