paper. Fig. 2 shows die oil distribution 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 36 h, 48 h and 60 h after die initial 
release of oil. The particle distribution is almost equal to die BSHdmodL results in 
BROSTROM et al. (2011), because the same forcing applies. The spreading is a bit stronger 
in SeatrackWeb, causing die oil spill to widen faster and more oil gets furdier southwest- 
wards. Since SeatrackWeb uses a coastline instead of die model boundaries, it allows par 
ticles to strand on the coastline and die stair case shape of die model boundaries as seen 
in the BSHdmod.L results (see Fig. 9 in BROSTROM et al. (2011)), is not present any 
more. 
Figure 2: The Seatrack Web oil drift simulation results for the “Full City” case (6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 
36 h, 48 h and 60 h after the initial release) using BSHcmod and LME/GME forcing. Black dots 
represent oil positions, the blueish area shows the depth used in the BSHcmod model (5 km 
resolution) and yellow is the land according to Seatrack Webs coastline.
