Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of vertical mixing on the horizontal drift of oil spills
Johannes Röhrs,Knut-Frode Dagestad,Helene Asbjørnsen,Tor Nordam,Tor Nordam,Jørgen Skancke,Cathleen E. Jones,Camilla Brekke +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the 3D development of a marine oil spill on the ocean surface and in the water column using numerical model simulations, including wave entrainment of oil, two alternative formulations for the droplet size and turbulent mixing.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors define seven research goals that are essential to improve our understanding of microplastics and can be tackled by learning from natural sediment research, and identify relevant tasks to achieve each goal.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improving oil spill trajectory modelling in the Arctic
TL;DR: The OSCAR oil spill model is updated to use sea-ice velocity and coverage fields from coupled ice-ocean models to improve simulation of oil fate and transport in ice-covered waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Calculation of the Mueller matrix for scattering of light from two-dimensional rough surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, a non-perturbative, purely numerical, solution of the reduced Rayleigh equation for the scattering of light from two-dimensional penetrable rough surfaces is introduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of climate change and seasonal trends on the fate of Arctic oil spills
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that ice cover is extremely important for predicting the fate of an Arctic oil spill, and that oil spills in a warming climate will in some cases result in greater areal coverage and shoreline exposure.
