Nowcasting International has teamed up with Applied Science Associates (ASA) to integrate its high-resolution marine forecast data with ASA's oil spill modelling systems.
Features
- Weather data is automatically integrated into model simulations so the impact of wind, wave and current on the oil spill is automatically predicted.
- Algorithms for prediction of weathering and surface/subsurface transport of nearly 1000 types of oil
- Predictions of oil-spill interaction with boom and other response methods
- Prediction of oil weathering results for emulsification, evaporation, entrainment, and shoreline oiling
- Model simulations can be generated in 1 - 2 minutes; traditional oil spill modelling involves the manual input of weather data and can take upto 24 hours to generate a simulation
