Tidal Inlet Protection Strategies for Oil-Spill Response: Tactics

This includes potential protection strategies for 84 tidal inlets in USCG Sectors Jacksonville, Miami, Key West, and St. Petersburg. The proposed strategies emphasize flood-tidal conditions, because the basic assumption is that the strategy be designed to deal with spilled oil coming to the inlet from the open ocean. These proposed potential strategies are based on the information at hand on waves and tidal currents. Where such data are missing, inferences based on the geomorphology were used.本数据集涵盖美国海岸警卫队（United States Coast Guard，缩写USCG）杰克逊维尔、迈阿密、基韦斯特及圣彼得斯堡分区下辖的84处潮汐汉道的潜在防护策略。所提出的防护策略以涨潮流工况为重点，核心假设为：该策略的设计目标是应对从公海涌入潮汐汉道的溢油事故。上述候选防护策略均基于现有波浪与潮流实测数据制定；若缺失此类实测数据，则采用基于地貌学的推断方法。
