Description
The Southern California TAP (Trajectory Analysis Planner) provides a regional analysis of the most probable transport pathways from spills originating from any of the 23 Federal drilling platforms and four pipeline locations for use in spill planning and preparedness. To generate the statistical TAP database, the GNOME model was run 200 times for each designated source site within defined seasons using forcing from high resolution regional ocean and atmospheric models. A web-based interactive viewer (WebTAP) was developed to display the statistical results based on user selected inputs for source site, spill volume, season and level of concern. The viewer is publicly available and can be accessed at https://tap.orr.noaa.gov.
