3D Oil Drift and Fate
Forecasts at DMI Bettina M. Christiansen
Technical report 03-36

Summary
|
Danish Meteorological
Institute (DMI) provides an operational 24 hours standby forecast
service for drift of oil spill and floating objects. The maximum
forecast length is 54 hours and the backtracking 42 hours back in
time. The objective of this standby forecast service is drift
forecast calculations and predictions of possible oil spill and
floating objects – and in this way be able to make warnings
of the magnitude and extent of oil pollution and effects on coastal
areas. By the facility of backtracking the model is able to
simulate oil spill and drifting objects back in time, with the
purpose of detecting likely release sites and originators.
Additionally the model can simulate leaking oil from a sailing
tanker – both forward and backward in
time.
