Study Quantifies Influence of Data Input on Confidence in Loop Current Forecasts
Researchers described in a recent study a surrogate-based technique to quantify the uncertainty in forecasting the oceanic circulation.

As the Deepwater Horizon oil spill unfolded, there were concerns that the Loop Current might transport oil out of the Gulf to the Florida Keys and up the eastern seaboard. This possibility highlighted the need for quick predictions of oceanic flows and subsurface hydrocarbon distribution during and after a spill.
