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. This data was created to study the behavior of oil in the offshore environment. The results of this simulation were used to develop methods for oil spill response optimization.
