Abstract

This paper consists of two parts: in the first part Gulfslik II a mathematical model that simulates surface oil spill transport is tested using the drifting buoys data of the Mt Mitchell cruise. In the second part an empirical formula based on the drift factor approach to estimate surface oil spill transport due to wind is derived.
