Abstract
A 2.5D oil spill numerical model developed by the CIOH is used in the domain of the colombian coastal water on the Caribbean as: Morrosquillo Gulf, Cartagena Bay and Santa MartaBay. A 3D oceanic numerical model using data assimilation with an oil spill numerical block was implemented for oil spill forecast trajectory as well to know the physical and chemical changes in the Caribbean sea. As a support for marine operations, a wave model is used for sea state forecast.The numerical tools before mentioned had been recently used during oil spills emergencies inSanta Marta Bay (B/T Alma Ata) and Cartagena Bay (B/T Saetta). The results were checked during field inspection.This paper presents the results using numerical modeling during the B/T Saetta oil spill occurred in open waters close to Cartagena.
