6 years ago Thanks for your interest.
The "cleanup" algorithms in GNOME are very simplistic, and really only suited to use with the "weathering only" modes.
@coconnor8: could you answer this one?
1- How these LEs are selected and marked? are all LEs are selected?
Is it possible to mark a certain set of LEs?
not now -- but we wrote the code that way to enable that in the future.
2- Is it possible to define, for example, a specific skimmer in a certain location? for example, a skimmer at a location 20 km far from the source? or, a dispersant to be applied for only one branch of the oil slick in a certain location?
no -- not yet.
3- Is it possible to confine/trap the LEs by boom (to stop their transport?)
no.
This is all functionality that we would like to include, but it has not floated to the top of the priority list yet...

Dear friends, I have some questions about three clean-up options in PyGnome: Skimmer, Burn and ChemicalDispersion. When I activate these options in my model, I see that visually the clean-up operations have no effect on the spill trajectory. Apparently, these operations only reduce the mass of LEs and do not change their path, at all. I checked the code in detail, and noted that when, for example, a skimmer is activated in the model, a number of LEs are marked for skimming. I would like to know: 1- How these LEs are selected and marked? are all LEs are selected? Is it possible to mark a certain set of LEs? 2- Is it possible to define, for example, a specific skimmer in a certain location? for example, a skimmer at a location 20 km far from the source? or, a dispersant to be applied for only one branch of the oil slick in a certain location? 3- Is it possible to confine/trap the LEs by boom (to stop their transport?)
Also, if possible please let me know if there is a guideline on the mathematical fundamentals of these operations in PyGnome (e.g. the meaning of fraction_sprayed in ChemicalDispesion).
