Predicting the Presence of Oil Slicks After an Oil Spill
A new predicting system is presented in which the aim is to forecast the presence or not of oil slicks in a certain area of the open sea after an oil spill. In this case, the CBR methodology has been chosen to solve the problem. The system designed to predict the presence of oil slicks wraps other artificial intelligence techniques such as a Growing Radial Basis Function Networks, Growing Cell ...
متن کاملEvaluation of an Oil Spill Trajectory Model Using Satellite-tracked, Oil-spill-simulating Drifters
We deployed ninety-seven oil-spillsimulating drifters over the continental shelf of the northeastern Gulf of Mexico during five hydrographic surveys conducted from 1997 through 1999. Earlier, sideby-side comparisons with spilled crude petroleum on the ocean surface had demonstrated that these drifters moved on the ocean surface like consolidated oil slicks under light to moderate winds. (Under ...
متن کاملBioremediation of Oil Spill
At present, petroleum hydrocarbon is one of the most serious Abstract: environmental problem. Oil spill occurring accidently in the ocean during transportation or other working places like refineries causes great threat to the flora and fauna existing nearby. Modern methods of remediation such as incineration, land filling, burning, etc. are expensive as well as their byproducts produced are of...
متن کاملExxon Valdez Oil Spill
Pristane (2,6,10,14-tetramethylpentadecane) concentrations in mussels (Mytilus trossulus) increase abruptly during spring in Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska. This increase is mainly due to ingestion by mussels of pristane-laden feces produced by near-shore zooplanktivores, especially juvenile pink salmon (Oncorhynchus gorbuscha). Examination of the trophic and temporal distribution of prista...
متن کاملExxon Valdez Oil Spill
This project investigated population status, habitat use and trophic interactions of harbor seals in Prince William Sound (PWS), Alaska. Aerial counts to monitor population trend indicated a 3.3% annual decline during 1990-1999. Counts were 20% lower in 1999 than in 1990, and >50% lower than in 1988. We sampled 390 seals during 1992-2000 and satellite-tagged 47 non-pups and 27 pups. Most tagged...
