This book was released on 1997 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper describes the prospect of the use of the oil spill modelling in geographic information systems (GIS) in the Malacca Straits. The ability of the oil spill model to do real-time simulation in Malacca Straits is presentated. The oil spill model included advection, spreading, evaporation, emulsification, entrainment, oil-shoreline interaction, and subsurface transport. The paper also describes the successful application of the nonorthogonal boundary-fiffted hydrodynamics model in Indonesia. The model has proved to be an excellent tool to predict water currents in the vicinity of the complex islands in Riau Straits. Both models have an embedded GIS for environmental data management and serve as useful tools for decision support system (DSS) in oil spill contingency planning. [Authors' abstract].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computer model 'OILSPILl' has been developed to compute oil spill trajectory for the protection of the vast coastal resources of the Malacca Straits against oil spill pollution. The oil spill model has taken into consideration vaious crucial components that determine the trajectory, dissipation and dispersion of the oil spilled in the Straits. Well-established empirical relations regarding such oil fate and dispersion are used. The model also uses results of a 2d tidal model, as well as documented sea surface currents observed in the Straits. Wind induced drifts are either computed from observed wind speed or retrieved from stored synoptic wind data and superimposed with computed localized land or sea breeze from a 1D land-sea breeze model. The expected time, location and the quantity of oil slick to be landed, if any, are also computed. [Authors' abstract].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shipping casualties often resulted in serious accidental spills as experienced in the Straits of Malacca in the past decade. Operational remote sensing and geographic information system (GIS) are important tools for oil spill research and development activities. The use of remote sensing and GIS has been making important contributions to enviromental monitoring, modeling and management. The combines use of remotely sensed images and GIS data has received considerable interest in recent years to protect human life, and reduce the enviromental consequences of both spills and cleanuo efforts. It is necessary to identify vulnerable coastal locations before a spill happens, and promptly perform removal actions when an oil spill occurs, so that the protection priorities can be established and clean-up strategies recognized. In this project an oil spill contigency plan has been created for the Straits of Malacca in three steps as follow: (a) SAR data such as RADARSAT has been used to detect and map oil spills pattern on the Malaysian coastal waters. Information on detection, exact position and size of the oil spill can be identified by remote sensing in SAR images and then plotted on maps in GIS and a priority of the combat efforts and means according to the identified coastal sensitive areas can be carried out; (b) enviromental sensitivity index (ESI) map; suggested to provide spill response teams with information about shoreline sensitivity and ranking based on vulnerability of the spill area. This map can show resources at risk in the event of an oil or hazardous spill; (c) Prediction of oil spill trajectory, using main seasonal surface currents and surface drift produced by the wind. Hypothetical spill trajectories have been simulated for each of the potential launch areas across the entrance of the Straits of Malacca. These simulations assumed more than hundred spills occuring in each seasons of the year from each launched area. A successful combating operation to a marine oil spill is dependent on a rapid response from the time oil spill is reported until it has been fully combated. In order to optimize the decision support capability of the survellance system for oil spill contigency planning, GIS database have been investigated with the detection tool. An automatic oil spill detection tool was established and information on the exact position and size of the oil spill is then visualized in GIS enviroment. The system offer opportunities for intergration of oil drift forecast models by prediction of wind and current influence on the oil spill for risk assessment using EASI program in PCI program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents the application of an oil spill fate model in the Straits of Singapore. It is a two dimensional numerical model which takes into account convection, dispersion, evaporation, dissolution, and mixing effects. The hydrodynamics involving tidal water levels and currents required as inputs to the oil spill fate model are computed using a complementary 2D hydrodynamic model, 2DTIDFLO. The model is tested in the Singapore Straits by simulating an oil spill event which occurred in July 1987. The computed oil concentrations are compared with the field data describing oil patch locations observed by the Port Authority of Singapore. [Authors' abstract].

Download or read book Information Engineering of Emergency Treatment for Marine Oil Spill Accidents written by Lin Mu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 355 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil spills are a serious marine disaster. Oil spill accidents usually occur in shipping, ports and offshore oil development. Although most are emergent events, once an oil spill occurs, it will cause great harm to the marine ecological environment, and bring direct harm to the economic development along the affected coast as well as to human health and public safety. Information Engineering of Emergency Treatment for Marine Oil Spill Accidents analyzes the causes of these accidents, introduces China's emergency response system, discusses technologies such as remote sensing and monitoring of oil spill on the sea surface and oil fingerprint identification, studies model prediction of marine oil spill behavior and fate and emergency treatment technologies for oil spills on the sea surface, and emphatically introduces the emergency prediction and warning system for oil spills in the Bohai Sea as well as oil spill-sensitive resources and emergency resource management systems. Features: The status quo and causes of marine oil spill pollution, as well as hazards of oil spill on the sea. The emergency response system for marine oil spills. Model-based prediction methods of marine oil spills. A series of used and developing emergency treatments of oil spill on the sea. This book serves as a reference for scientific investigators who want to understand the key technologies for emergency response to marine oil spill accidents, including the current level and future development trend of China in this field.
Download or read book Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook written by Sharon Hook and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oil spills can be difficult to manage, with reporting frequently delayed. Too often, by the time responders arrive at the scene, the slick has moved, dissolved, dispersed or sunk. This Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook provides practical advice on what information is likely required following the accidental release of oil or other petroleum-based products into the marine environment. The book focuses on response phase monitoring for maritime spills, otherwise known as Type I or operational monitoring. Response phase monitoring tries to address the questions – what? where? when? how? how much? – that assist responders to find, track, predict and clean up spills, and to assess their efforts. Oil spills often occur in remote, sensitive and logistically difficult locations, often in adverse weather, and the oil can change character and location over time. An effective response requires robust information provided by monitoring, observation, sampling and science. The Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook completely updates the Australian Maritime Safety Authority’s 2003 edition of the same name, taking into account the latest scientific advances in physical, chemical and biological monitoring, many of which have evolved as a consequence of major oil spill disasters in the last decade. It includes sections on the chemical properties of oil, the toxicological impacts of oil exposure, and the impacts of oil exposure on different marine habitats with relevance to Australia and elsewhere. An overview is provided on how monitoring integrates with the oil spill response process, the response organisation, the use of decision-support tools such as net environmental benefit analysis, and some of the most commonly used response technologies. Throughout the text, examples are given of lessons learned from previous oil spill incidents and responses, both local and international. General guidance of spill monitoring approaches and technologies is augmented with in-depth discussion on both response phase and post-response phase monitoring design and delivery. Finally, a set of appendices delivers detailed standard operating procedures for practical observation, sample and data collection. The Oil Spill Monitoring Handbook is essential reading for scientists within the oil industry and environmental and government agencies; individuals with responder roles in industry and government; environmental and ecological monitoring agencies and consultants; and members of the maritime sector in Australia and abroad, including officers in ports, shipping and terminals.
