Movement of Spilled Oil over the Beaufort Sea Shelf - A Forecast.
Projections of the movement of oil slicks and their impact location along the north Alaskan coast are determined from fifteen potential oil drilling sites. Two approaches are implemented to determine impact locations. The first is a description of the environment with emphasis on the meteorology and...

| Summary: | Projections of the movement of oil slicks and their impact location along the north Alaskan coast are determined from fifteen potential oil drilling sites. Two approaches are implemented to determine impact locations. The first is a description of the environment with emphasis on the meteorology and water movement in the area. The second considers the interactions of the environmental processes in forecasting the potential paths of spilled oil and their impact location on the shoreline. (Author) |
