TIME TO EXPOSURE

Time to exposure (T1): indicates, for each grid element (given by its coordinates x,y), the instant when it is affected by the spill, i.e. the first oil particle passes through it. Hence once the value is set, it do not change. Properties:

– As far as a spill can last for a long time:• It represents the trajectory with one simple graph• It gives some guidance on the trajectory, but not the

trajectory itself, that would require too many figures

– Gives the time when an area starts to be affected– Gives an idea of the velocity of the spill– However:

• Do not give the position of the slick at any time• Do not give the trajectory (position / time) of the slick.

After revising model results:– Winds are key in the trajectory of the spill, specially

in the inner domain, given the narrowness of the channel. Here, the wind can drive the slicks towards the coastline, avoiding their transport out of the port.

– Tide coefficient are not as important as thought– Instant of spill (inner): much more important than

tide coefficientIn conclusion:

– The most critical areas are located in the outer port– Thus, it is recommended to locate the containment

equipment close to the port’s entrance

Light Fuel-Oil (F-O #2) or Gasoil– Use of dispersants not recommended– Containment and recovery with weak winds

Heavy or Medium Fuel Oil (#4 or #6)– Similar to Cat.3 crude oil

Saharan Blend (Cat.1 crude oil)– Containment and recovery with weak winds– Dispersants may be used with strong winds before 10

hrs off the spillMaya (Cat.3 crude oil)

– Containment and recovery are the only combating options given its ability to emulsify
