Abstract
In this study, an integrated model is developed for studying the Sanchi oil spill event, which occurred in the East China Sea in January 2018. The results of the Advanced Research Weather Research and Forecasting model (WRF-ARW) as well as the Princeton Ocean Model (POM) are used for meteorological forecasting and the hydrodynamic simulations, respectively. These data are adopted as inputs for the OpenOil, a sub-module of OpenDrift, for the oil spill model. Some reference experiments are examined for short-term hindcast. The satellite image is used to validate the numerical result. The oil slicks of the satellite image and the numerical result are of similar shapes. Quantitatively, the simulated oil slick and that from the satellite image are located closely and have similar dimensions of 56 km by 34 km and 54 km by 29 km, respectively. It is found that the accurate results can be obtained by the proposed integrated model with the high-frequency (hourly) and high-spatial-resolution data as inputs, and the wind drift factor has to be added. The long-term 1-month simulation showed that most of the oil particles would move to the northeast of the sinking location and be trapped by the Kuroshio current.
本文以2018年1月发生在东海的桑吉溢油事件为研究对象,建立了一个综合模型。先进研究天气研究与预报模式(WRF-ARW)和普林斯顿海洋模式(POM)的结果分别用于气象预报和水动力模拟。这些数据作为OpenDrift的子模块OpenOil的输入,用于漏油模型。对短期预报进行了一些参考实验。利用卫星图像对数值结果进行了验证。卫星图像上的浮油与数值计算结果的形状相似。从数量上看,模拟浮油与卫星图像上的浮油位置接近,尺寸相似,分别为56 km × 34 km和54 km × 29 km。结果表明,以高频(时)和高空间分辨率数据为输入,在加入风漂移因子的情况下,所提出的综合模式可以获得较准确的结果。长期1个月的模拟结果表明,大部分浮油颗粒会向下沉位置的东北方向移动,并被黑潮困住。
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Engineering for the Maritime Environment is concerned with the design, production and operation of engineering artefacts for the maritime environment. The journal straddles the traditional boundaries of naval architecture, marine engineering, offshore/ocean engineering, coastal engineering and port engineering.
