Description:

"This guide provides an overview of the physical processes that affect oil movement and behavior in the marine environment. Trajectory analysis is most often done using computer models to keep track of complex, interacting processes. Even without a model, you can estimate the time and length scale of an event using the informa-tion you'll find here. The guide can help the responder and planner understand physical processes and potential uncertainties as they incorporate trajectory analysis into the response"--Intro.
