Deepwater Horizon Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill Trajectory: GlobalHYCOM Model 05/20/2010

May 25, 2010
Description:
Roughly digitized version of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill trajectory ensemble forecast from different numerical models, a joint effort of the Ocean Circulation Group and the Optical Oceanography Laboratory at College of Marine Science, University of South Florida to track/predict the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico using simulated drifters/particles.

More information on the projections can be found here (last checked 05/20/2010): http://ocg6.marine.usf.edu/~liu/oil_spill_ensemble_forecast.html

This shapefile represents Global HYCOM model output for particles for May 20, 2010 at 00 hour UTC.
