Dataset for: The treatment of biodegradation in models of sub-surface oil spills: A review and sensitivity study

This dataset contains simulations run with Texas A&M Oilspill Calculator (TAMOC) including biodegradation for a deep-sea blowout. Simulations published in the associated publication, Socolofsky et al., (2019). Authors reviewed existing algorithms and rates and conducted a model sensitivity study. All deep-sea blowout simulations were conducted at 2000 m depth and were either treated with sub-surface dispersant injection (2% dispersant to oil ratio) or untreated. For the model sensitivity study, a total of 32 sensitivity simulations were run, using two oils types and four different sets of first-order decay rates varying the biodegradation constant, with and without sub-surface dispersant injection and with and without lag time for onset of biodegradation. This dataset supports the publication: Socolofsky, S. A., Gros, J., North, E., Boufadel, M. C., Parkerton, T. F., & Adams, E. E. (2019).

本数据集包含使用得克萨斯农工大学溢油计算器（Texas A&M Oilspill Calculator, TAMOC）开展的模拟实验，涵盖深海井喷场景下的生物降解过程模拟。相关模拟实验已发表于Socolofsky等人（2019）的研究成果中。研究团队梳理了现有算法与速率参数，并开展了模型敏感性分析。所有深海井喷模拟均设置于2000米水深环境，且分为两类：施加水下分散剂注入（分散剂与油的比例为2%）组与未施加组。针对本次模型敏感性分析，研究团队共开展了32组敏感性模拟：采用2种油品类型、4组不同的一级衰减速率参数（通过调整生物降解常数实现变化），并覆盖了是否施加水下分散剂注入、是否设置生物降解启动延迟时间的全部组合。本数据集可支撑以下发表成果：Socolofsky, S.
