... the oil slick to become patchy. Even weathering of the oil with time make the oil slick thinner and break into multiple small slick with time. Its density will change as it emulsifies and weathers. Detection of oil spill requires advanced instruments sometimes, especially in case of thin oil slick...

..., the spilled oil must be recovered while it is still drifting on the sea surface. For effective and efficient recovery of oil spill, meteorological and oceanographic data around the oil slick is of prime importance. Under the domain of the above requirements the new design of SOTAB-II has been delineated...

... It is important for effective oil spill response operation to predict the location of the oil slick when the massive oil spill occurred. We are developing the SOTAB, Spilled Oil Tracking Autonomous Buoy, which tracks the oil slick automatically. We carried out trial-tests of it at sea in 2008.We...

... in the simulation cases. It is proved 3D CA model is a capable and efficient way to simulate and predict the movement of the oil slick. INTRODUCTION Because oil spill accidents happened very often in the last decades, the related tasks, such as: oil spill monitoring, prediction and management, became very...

... ABSTRACT A numerical model employing the Lagrangian discrete parcel algorithm to simulate the oil slick spread on the coastal water was developed. The numerical model accounted for the conditions of the physical spreading process (including the mechanical spreading, wind and current drift...
