after, the wind makes the oil slick displacement move towards the sides of the channel. The results showed a range of possible negative direct and indirect environmental impacts in an oil slick scenario at the harbor of Rio Grande. Observing the coastal oil touch susceptibility results, areas of singular and rich ecosystems, as well as segments of high Coastal Sensitivity Indexes, the model ECOS proved effective in simulating the displacement of oil slicks. Such results could evenly support actions in cases of accidents involving oil slicks at the Patos lagoon.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
