Type of oil spilt or likely to be spilt


e.g. Name: crude oil / Type: fuel oil / Grade: bunker fuel
Name
Type
Grade

Amount of oil spilt or likely to be spilt (complete one option)


If exact spill quantity is unknown for modelling purposes, provide a maximum estimation of spill
Tonnes
Cubic metres
Litres
Barrels
Known or estimated amount of time oil was being discharged: Hours (e.g 12, 24, 36 hrs)
How long do you want the model prediction for: Hours (e.g 12, 24, 36 hrs)
Surface water temperature at spill site: oC (if not available AMSA will use an average for this location)
Wind speed and direction at spill location is vital to the effectiveness of the spill simulation mode
Wind speed and direction
Note: If wind speed and direction are variable use form below to input data
Enter wind information into columns starting at the time of the spill and for the duration of simulation required.
