COZOIL: coastal zone oil spill model (for microcomputers). Software
COZOIL, developed and tested for use by the Department of the Interior Minerals Management Service, was developed as a generic, computer-based model for the simulation of oil spills entering the surf zone, impacting a shoreline, and transforming through time as a result of physical and chemical processes. COZOIL builds on previous oil-spill trajectory and fates models, which typically end with contact at the coastline. It also includes explicit representation of as many known, active processes as possible, partitioning oil quantities among air, water surface, water column, and the substrate/groundwater systems in or near the surf zone. Eight shoreline types with varying oil holding capacities and seven oil types encompassing a range of viscosities can be simulated. Software Description: The model is written in the FORTRAN 77 programming language for implementation on an IBM PC or compatible microcomputer using the MS-DOS or PC-DOS operating system. An 8087 math coprocessor, a hard disk and 640K RAM are required.
