The University of Miami/RSMAS group of coastal and shelf seas modeling prepares products of hydrodynamic properties and circulation relevant to the deepwater Horizon oil spill. Nested, high resolution modeling in regional and shelf/coastal seas has been instrumental in the understanding and prediction of circulation around the current Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
See the effort of the University of Miami team at http://coastalmodeling.rsmas.miami.edu/Models/View/DEEPWATER_HORIZON_OIL_SPILL which is producing forcasts for circulation and water particles released at the oil spill site.
