An oil spill forecast and emergency decision support system in China offshore
中国近海海上溢油预测与应急决策支持系统研发

A system was described for prediction of oil spill movement and corresponsive operations, which was composed of 3D hydrodynamic model, oil weathering model, environmental sensitive area maps, and decision support model. It can predict the drift-diffusion movement and weathering process of oil slicks, and also provide early warning for sensitive areas, sequence of preferential protection of sensitive resources, optimized projects of emergency, and real-time dynamic simulation of cleanup effect. In addition, the system is able to provide services through internet.
