The effect of vertical mixing on the horizontal drift of oil spills

As a result of the vertical processes, the horizontal transport of oil spills depends on oil type, weather conditions, and oceanic turbulence.

The horizontal transport of oil spilled at sea is largely de- termined by ocean currents, waves, and winds. Ocean cur- rents and the wave-induced Stokes drift ...

The effect of vertical mixing on the horizontal drift of oil spills

Vertical and horizontal transport mechanisms for marine oil spills are investigated using numerical model simulations. To realistically resolve the 3-D ...
