The effects of vertical mixing on the transport of oil spills using the OpenDrift ocean trajectory model with ROMS/NorKyst800 forcing from May 5-11, 2011
New parameterizations for physical processes that are related to the vertical transport of oil spills are implemented into the open source trajectory framework OpenDrift. These encompass the wave-entrainment of oil, two alternative formulations for the droplet size spectra, and turbulent mixing. The...
