<strong>Oil</strong> Plume Extent Forecast<br />
Source: NOAA/Office of Response <strong>and</strong> Restoration<br />
http://events.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services/<strong>Gulf</strong>_Coast_<strong>Oil</strong>_<strong>Spill</strong>_Plume<br />
Date Prepared: reported <strong>by</strong> CRGIS as of Monday 07 June<br />
On 18 May, NOAA separated its oil plume extent into separate polygons—an inshore plume <strong>and</strong><br />
an offshore plume. As of 20 May, both plumes were being posted <strong>by</strong> the GIS service. CRGIS has<br />
merged the Uncertainty areas from both plumes <strong>and</strong> differentiated the higher density oil depicted<br />
within the offshore plume. This gives five density classifications within the legend—Heavy,<br />
Medium, Light, Offshore, Uncertainty; previously there were four.<br />
NOAA describes today’s data set as below:<br />
“Forecast location for oil on 07-June-10 at 1200 CDT<br />
Estimates for: 1200 CDT Monday 6/07/2010<br />
Date prepared: 2100 CDT Sunday 6/06/2010<br />
This forecast is based on the NWS spot forecast from Saturday, June 5 PM. Currents were<br />
obtained from several models (NOAA <strong>Gulf</strong> of Mexico, West Florida Shelf/USF, NAVO/NRL,) NC<br />
St/SABGOM). The model was initialized from Sunday morning satellite imagery analysis<br />
(NOAA/NESDIS) <strong>and</strong> Sunday overflight observations. The leading edge may contain tarballs that<br />
are not readily observable from the imagery (hence not included in the model initialization). <strong>Oil</strong><br />
near bay inlets could be brought into that bay <strong>by</strong> local tidal currents.<br />
Onshore (S/SW/WSW) winds are forecast to continue into the coming week at 10 knots or less.<br />
Persistent southerly winds have resulted in northward movement of the slick towards the<br />
Mississippi/Alabama barrier isl<strong>and</strong>s. The westerly component of winds <strong>and</strong> currents has also<br />
resulted in alongshore movement along the Florida Panh<strong>and</strong>le. Trajectories indicate coastal<br />
regions between Dauphin Isl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong> Freeport will continue to experience shoreline contacts<br />
throughout this forecast period. The threat to shorelines in Breton Sound, Ch<strong>and</strong>eleur Sound, <strong>and</strong><br />
the NE side of the Delta is reduced. To the west of the Delta, any remaining floating oil in this<br />
region could come ashore between Timbalier Bay <strong>and</strong> SW Pass.”<br />
Offshore <strong>Oil</strong> Plume Extent Forecast<br />
Server: http://events.arcgisonline.com/arcgis/services<br />
Name: <strong>Gulf</strong>_Coast_Offshore_<strong>Oil</strong>_<strong>Spill</strong>_Forecast<br />
NOAA describes today’s data set as below:<br />
“Forecast location for offshore oil on 07-June-10 at 1200 CDT<br />
Estimates for: Monday 6/07/2010<br />
Date prepared: 1900 CDT Sunday 6/06/2010<br />
Currents were obtained from five models: NOAA <strong>Gulf</strong> of Mexico, NavO/NCOM, NRL/IASNFS,<br />
West Florida Shelf/USF, <strong>and</strong> NC St./SABGOM. Each includes Loop Current dynamics. <strong>Gulf</strong> wide<br />
winds were obtained from the gridded NCEP product. The model was initialized from June 6th<br />
AM satellite imagery analysis (NOAA/NESDIS) <strong>and</strong> NOAA overflight observations from today.<br />
The leading edge may contain tarballs that are not readily observable from the imagery (hence<br />
not included in the model initialization).<br />
Satellite imagery analysis <strong>and</strong> overflight observations continue to indicate b<strong>and</strong>s of sheen to the<br />
SE of the main slick. Today's overflight encountered the feature at a lesser concentration.<br />
Scattered sheens <strong>and</strong> tar balls observed in these regions are being entrained into the northern<br />
edge of the large clockwise eddy (Eddy Franklin) that has pinched off the main Loop Current
(LC). Trajectories indicate that some of these sheens may continue southward along the eastern<br />
edge of Eddy Franklin, whereas some are being entrained into the counter-clockwise eddy to the<br />
NE of the main LC eddy. Further to the east, a second narrow b<strong>and</strong> of semi-contiguous<br />
transparent sheens previously observed was not seen today. This feature may or may not be<br />
related to the BP spill.”<br />

Environmental Sensitivity Index Area<br />
The Environmental Sensitivity Index (ESI) map for the <strong>Gulf</strong> Coast has been developed <strong>by</strong><br />
NOAA's Office of Response <strong>and</strong> Restoration. The purpose of the ESI is to identify sensitive<br />
resources that may be impacted as a result of an oil spill. NOAA has defined three types of<br />
sensitive resources: shoreline habitats, biological resources, <strong>and</strong> human use resources (including<br />
cultural resources). The Index map is an aggregation of 1:24000 USGS quadrangle boundaries<br />
covering areas within which these resource types are at risk.<br />
The National Park Service has used the ESI in conducting its own assessment of the potential<br />
impact of the Deep Horizon BP <strong>Oil</strong> <strong>Spill</strong> because the ESI Area map comes from an authoritative<br />
source (NOAA), it provides a consistent geographic framework for agencies to use in responding<br />
to the incident, <strong>and</strong> it allows a reasonable area to take into account the potential impacts of<br />
recovery e.g. staging areas, clean up infrastructure, access roads etc. on cultural resources.
