N2 - In this study, a two-step oil spill forecasting system is developed. In the first step, once the volume and properties of the spilled oil were known, the initial oil spill area and the successive diffused area were estimated using empirical formulas. The oil slick trajectories were then determined using the vectorial summation of the velocity of the ocean current and 3% of the wind speed. A land-based X-band radar was temporarily deployed to obtain the local current velocities during the oil spill event. In the second step, according to the given current and wind fields, the Semi-implicit Cross-scale Hydroscience Integrated System Model (SCHISM) was applied to forecast the location and area of the oil spill.
