Spreading Simulation and Decision Supporting for Marine Pollution Emergency Response

Absrtact
The plan of year 2016 is to run the oil spill and chemical dispersion simulation modeling software, based on the well-known Applied Science Associates (ASA) product, with the related information on surrounding waters of Taiwan; and to provide the contaminants track. The simulation results and environmental resource data will be implanted to ASA's Ocean Map, and provide the results for the right commands in urgent situations. After receiving emergency marine pollution bulletin from the EPA, the analysis reports are established within the specified time -24 hours a day –in order to provide EPA as a reference during project execution. Another application is to use OSD (Oil Spill Detection system) developed by the Norway MIROS, to install into radar for detecting the oil spill, waves, currents system during sudden spill event. It also instantly detects the mobility of oil pollution, waves, currents, and wind speed/direction observations. With the detection range of 3-8 km, this system not only can instantly displays the locations of the oil spills, but also can predict the speed and direction of short-turm oil spill drift. The real-time data detected by OSD system can be used as input parameters of the OILmap software as well as CHEMmap software for enhancing the accuracy of the oil pollution and chemical pollution dispersion models. Two major goals of these results are to integrate these applications for「MARINE POLLUTION PREVENTION SYSTEM」as well as to provide a scientific foundation for EPA to establish programs of numerical simulation on emergency contamination in the ocean. In the report, we have shown seven oil spill simulations, including four simulations for real oil spill events in the Panghu County, New Taipei City(two events) and Kinmen County, respectively, one more simulation for marine pollution exercise in the Tainan City, and two hypothetical simulations. Moreover, we also have conducted six chemical dispersion simulations, including one reactive-pollutants, one no-reactive pollutants and two single chemical pollutant simulation. Finally, the 63 days records of OSD operation also demonstrated in the report.
