Near Field Plume simulation results for Deepwater Horizon blowout Hindcast in Gulf of Mexico from 2010-04-22 to 2010-07-14 using the Texas A&M Oilspill Calculator (TAMOC).

The data set is developed as a part of the simulations that carried out for the Hindcast of Deepwater Horizon oilspill from 2010-04-22 to 2010-07-14 in the Gulf of Mexico. Two main sets of model simulation results included in the data are from the two near-field plume models in the Texas A&M Oilspill Calculator (TAMOC) that can be used to simulate under water oil and gas blowout plumes, namely the Stratified Plume Model (SPM) and the Bent Plume Model (BPM). Stratified plume model does not account for the cross flow velocities in the ambient while the bent plume model does consider the presence of cross currents in the calculations. Simulations are done hourly from 2010-04-22 to 2010-07-14. Model input data are saved in “Input” folder in netcdf and .csv formats, and model results are saved in “Output” folder in netcdf format. The tools for reading and post processing of model results are included in the TAMOC modeling suite, which can be freely downloaded from https://github.com/socolofs/tamoc. Release fluid composition and parameters needed as input to the model are saved in the .csv files according to the format needed in the TAMOC modeling suite to read the data. Ambient data used are extracted from SABGOM ocean circulation model simulations for the Gulf of Mexico and saved in the folder Input/SABGOM according to the format used as input to TAMOC. Each ambient data file is corresponding to each hour of simulation starting from 2010-04-22, 00th hour (SABGOM_4778611200.0) to 2010-07-14, 23rd hour (SABGOM_4778611200.0). The model results of SPM are saved as “SPM_DWH_M_D_H_Loc_disp.nc” and for BPM it is “BPM_DWH_M_D_H_loc_disp.nc” where M- Month, D – Day, H – Hour, Loc - Location (Loc = 1 – Plume leaked at the kink before the riser cut off on 2010-06-03, Loc = 2 – Plume at the end of the fallen riser, Loc = 3 – Plume at the well head after the riser cut off on 2010-06-03) and if disp = 1 Plume is treated with dispersant and if disp = 0 plume is not treated with dispersants.

本数据集是为2010年4月22日至2010年7月14日墨西哥湾“深水地平线”（Deepwater Horizon）溢油后报（Hindcast）模拟工作开发的配套数据集。数据集包含两套核心模型模拟结果，均来自得克萨斯农工大学溢油计算器（Texas A&M Oilspill Calculator, TAMOC）中的两款近场羽流模型，两款模型均可用于模拟水下油气喷溢羽流，分别为层状羽流模型（Stratified Plume Model, SPM）与弯曲羽流模型（Bent Plume Model, BPM）。其中层状羽流模型未考虑环境中的横流速度，而弯曲羽流模型则在计算中纳入了横流的影响。模拟时间范围为2010年4月22日至2010年7月14日，每小时生成一组模拟结果。模型输入数据以netCDF和逗号分隔值（.csv）格式存储于“Input”文件夹中；模型结果以netCDF格式存储于“Output”文件夹中。用于读取和后处理模型结果的工具集成于TAMOC建模套件中，可从https://github.com/socolofs/tamoc免费下载。模型所需的释放流体组分与输入参数已按照TAMOC建模套件的数据读取格式，存储于对应的.csv文件中。本数据集使用的环境数据提取自墨西哥湾SABGOM海洋环流模型模拟结果，并按照TAMOC的输入格式存储于“Input/SABGOM”文件夹中。每一份环境数据文件对应一次模拟时刻，时间范围为2010年4月22日00时（文件名SABGOM_4778611200.0）至2010年7月14日23时（文件名SABGOM_4778611200.0）。SPM的模型结果文件命名格式为“SPM_DWH_M_D_H_Loc_disp.nc”，BPM的模型结果文件命名格式为“BPM_DWH_M_D_H_loc_disp.nc”，其中M代表月份，D代表日期，H代表模拟时刻，Loc代表喷溢位置（Loc=1指2010年6月3日隔水管切断前的拐点处喷溢羽流，Loc=2指脱落隔水管末端的喷溢羽流，Loc=3指2010年6月3日隔水管切断后的井口处喷溢羽流）；disp为是否施加分散剂的标识：disp=1表示该组模拟对羽流施加了分散剂处理，disp=0表示未施加分散剂处理。
