The state-of-the-art in oil spill modeling is summarized, focusing primarily on the years from
1990 to the present. All models seek to describe the key physical and chemical processes …

A state-of-the-art review of fate and transport modelling of oil spills is presented. Emphasis is
placed on oil spills in ice-covered waters. The review encompasses advection, spreading …

During July–September 1998 a comprehensive survey was undertaken of the Celtic Sea
and St. George's Channel of the Irish Sea in order to resolve the three-dimensional density …

A particle-tracking method has been used to simulate the dispersion of non-conservative
radionuclides in the sea. Three dimensional turbulent diffusion and the interactions between …

In June/July 1996, a survey of the offshore region between the north-east coast of England
and the Dogger Bank was undertaken using towed and conventional profiling CTD's and …

A particle transport model is described that is being used to simulate the dispersal of salmon
lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) larvae in the waters of Loch Torridon. A hydrodynamic …

Abstract Model predictions of the movement of oil released during the Shetlands oil spill in
January 1993 commenced immediately following the grounding of the Braer. The initial …

The long-term effects of the sea lice treatment products Excis and Slice on zooplankton
communities in a Scottish sea loch were investigated at a commercially operating salmon …

A 3D baroclinic finite difference model is applied to a grid fine enough to resolve the internal
Rossby Radius of the southern North Sea. In an idealised test case the model develops the …

During the last decades, the Euler scheme was the common “workhorse” in particle tracking,
although it is the lowest-order approximation of the underlying stochastic differential …
