Abstract
Systems and methods for tracking and remediating oil in a body of water include monitoring the data from the satellite for indications of an oil spill. In response to determining that the indications of oil spill are present, assessing whether criteria for triggering a forecasting process are met. In response to determining that criteria for triggering a forecasting process have been met, running a forecasting process including: (i) delineating polygons where oil is determined to be present based on the data from the satellite; (ii) receiving meteorological and hydrodynamic data for the body of water; (iii) running a trajectory model using the polygons as initial conditions for the oil spill to forecast future locations of the oil spill; and sending instructions to a vessel in the body of water.
