Simulation of the fate and transport of natural gas seep bubbles using Texas A&M Oilspill Calculator (TAMOC) during GISR G08 cruise in the northern Gulf of Mexico, April 2015

This dataset contains the input python scripts and the output data for a simulation of fate and transport of natural gas seep bubbles during the Gulf Integrated Spill Research (GISR) G08 cruise at Mississippi Canyon, lease block 118 (MC118) using the Texas A&M Oilspill Calculator (TAMOC). The GISR G08 cruise was conducted from 2015-04-09 to 2015-04-21 in the northern Gulf of Mexico on the E/V Nautilus cruise NA056 using the remotely operated vehicle (ROV) Hercules. A total of five simulations were conducted for five individual ROV dives. For one dive, diffusivity was varied. Model results include bubble time, bubble diameter, position, slip velocity, and density.
