Tidal Inlet Protection Strategies for Oil-Spill Response: Booming Strategies

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，USCG）下辖杰克逊维尔、迈阿密、基韦斯特及圣彼得堡分区内的84处潮汐汊道的潜在防护策略。拟议策略均以涨潮流条件为设计核心，其基本假设为：此类策略需针对从公海涌入潮汐汊道的溢油事件制定应对方案。上述潜在防护策略均基于现有波浪与潮流观测数据构建；若缺乏此类观测数据，则采用基于地貌学的推断结果作为替代依据。
