A statistical representation of oil spill fate in the Salish Sea
Code repository

This repository contains the code developed during the MEOPAR-funded MIDOSS project and neccessary for reproducing the results and figures presented in:

Mueller, R. D., S. E. Allen, S. Chang, H. Nui, D. Latornell, S. Li, R. Bagshaw, A. Bhudia, V. Do, K. Forysinski, B. Moore-Maley, C. Powers. A statistical representation of oil spill fate in the Salish Sea. In prep.

The results evaluated in this study were generated with the following suite of software tools.

• Creation of GeoTiffs and shapefiles from AIS ship track data [ADD ARCHIVE]
• Generation of 10,000 random oil spill scenarios (spill file) based on monte-carlo approach in UBC-MOAD/moad_tool/MIDOSS
• Attribution of oil types with MIDOSS-MOHID-config
• Creation of HDF5 forcing files for MOHID oil spill mode using Make-MIDOSS-Forcing
• Simulations of oil spill fate and transport using the MOHID oil spill model. Our setup and modifications can be accessed in the following two repositories: MOHID-Cmd and MIDOSS-MOHID-CODE.

2018 oil transfer data for Washington State can be accessed through a Washington State Department of Ecology public records request.
