MS4: Marine Spill Simulation Software Set Process Descriptions.

摘要

The Marine Spill Simulation Software Set (MS4) is a userfriendly, flexible software package, designed for simulating the behavior of marine spills. The simulating includes the processes of transport, spreading and aging. MS4 can be used to: Evaluate the consequences of potential oil spills (environmental studies); and Plan combat strategies and guide combat operations during actual spill emergencies. The purpose of the report is to present an outline of the MS4 program structure and a description of the processes used. New features are discussed intensively in the report. These features are: spatial interpolation; oil density increase; and submerged transport.
