Dataset for: Long term simulations of potential oil spills around Cuba

High resolution forcing from Hybrid Coordinate Ocean Model (1/50 degree, 1.8 km resolution GoM-HYCOM) and the weathering from the open source Lagrangian oil drift model. OpenOil is used to determine the most likely stranding locations of oil spilled around Cuba. Eight years of continuous oil spills at five locations are tracked for the position, mass remaining, fraction evaporated, and mass stranded. One hundred droplets of both light (Louisiana Light Sweet) and heavy (IFO-180LS 2014) oil were released daily for eight years. Release locations were (19.49°N, -84.69°E); (21.45°N, -84.72°E); (24.38°N, -86.79°E), (23.75°N, -82.34°E), (23.54°N, -80.84°E). This dataset contains the full eight years of trajectories for all five release locations, as well as a shorter experiment at one location, for both oil weights.
