A method is presented and preliminarily applied to the optimization of the allocation of oil-slick combating coastal stations in a coastal basin. The decision support methodology is based on the annual simulation of the circulation in the basin according to climatologic data, on the oil spill simulation by the method of Lagrangian particles, on the analysis of the quantified stochastic environmental effects from a number of probable oil spill sources distributed over the basin and on the selection of the optimal coastal oil spill stations. The selection is based on a proposed metric for the operational effectiveness of each station. Using available data, a preliminary application is presented for the Azov Sea, where a number of coastal sites, protected by Ramsar convention, exist and an intensive maritime traffic is planned for the near future.
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.
